A is a threaded or unthreaded fastener designed to be permanently installed into a metal chassis or PCB. Unlike loose hardware, it "swages" (deforms) into the host material, creating a solid, flush-mount spacer that won’t spin or pull out. Unlike loose hardware, it "swages" (deforms) into the
A thin-walled, unthreaded extension protruding from one end of the body. The shank is inserted into a mounting hole and cold-formed using an installation tool. 📋 Key National Aerospace Standards (NAS) for Standoffs
