The new quick-release stand-off fastener launched by Northern Precision (NP) is designed to reduce both the time and costs associated with traditional assembly methods for, say, PCBs. The use of the quick-release stand-off will also minimise the amount of loose hardware (screws, for example) usually associated with such tasks. As standard, quick-release stand-offs are suitable for installation on bottom panels of minimum 1 mm thick 80 HRB steel/70 HRB stainless steel, and top panels of 1.45 mm to 1.62 mm, and is available from stock for next-day delivery. A broaching style of quick-release stand-off is also available by special order for PCB to PCB mounting applications. Accredited to BS EN ISO 9001:2000, NP maintains an extensive range of 5000 in-stock standard line items covering most applications and materials. The company also supplies self-clinching, high-strength and broaching fasteners, rivet bushes, sheet nuts, weld nuts and studs, cage nuts and blind rivets, as well as special turned and cold-formed components to customer requirements.
