SELF-CLINCHING STANDOFFS INSTALLATION TYPES TSO/TSOS/TSOA/TSO4 1. Prepare properly sized mounting hole in sheet. Do not perform any secondary operation such as deburring. 2. Insert standoff through mounting hole (preferably the punch side) of sheet and into anvil as shown in drawing. 3. With installation punch and anvil surfaces parallel, apply only enough squeezing force to embed the standoff’s head flush in the sheet. Drawing at right shows required installation anvil for sheet thickness of .025” to .032” / 0.63 mm to 0.81 mm. A chamfered anvil is not required for sheets over .032” / 0.81...
