Captive Pins

Also known as pilot pins, use these pins to position, pivot, and align components. To install, punch or drill a hole in sheet metal, then use a punch and anvil or arbor press to clinch the head to the metal.

Pins are passivated for added protection against corrosion and oxidation. The ends are chamfered for easy insertion.

TPS PEM® Series—TPS PEM® Series pins work on steel or aluminum sheets. Made of 18-8 stainless steel, they offer a balance of strength and corrosion resistance and may be mildly magnetic.

TP4 PEM® Series—TP4 PEM® Series pins work on stainless steel sheets. Made of 400 series stainless steel, they resist wear and abrasion, but are not as corrosion resistant as 18-8 stainless steel pins. Pins may be mildly magnetic.

MPP PEM® Series—MPP PEM® Series pins work with most materials. Made of A286 stainless steel, they're our strongest captive pins, with corrosion resistance comparable to 18-8 stainless steel pins. They are nonmagnetic.

Captive Pins for Soft Materials

The grooves in these pins grip plastics and other soft materials. Press them in to hold panels together. Also known as PEM® TackSert pins, their small size makes them suitable for use in electronic assemblies.

TK4 PEM® Series—TK4 PEM® Series pins are used to attach sheets to cast aluminum and other brittle materials. They are made of 400 series stainless steel to resist wear and abrasion and may be mildly magnetic. Pins are passivated for added protection against corrosion and oxidation.

TKA PEM® Series—TKA PEM® Series pins are used to attach sheets to plastics. They're made of aluminum and are nonmagnetic.
