Overview
Blind standoffs are closed at one end, so the screw cannot pass through and the panel stays sealed. They press into thin sheet and hold boards or parts at a fixed height.
Full dimensions, preferred lengths and installation / push-out / torque-out performance data are shown in the datasheet below, taken from the self-clinching fasteners catalogue.
