PennEngineering Named 2012 Golden Mousetrap Finalist

The following is a press release provided to GlobalFastenerNews.com. Contact the individual company for additional information.

We are proud to announce that PennEngineering’s microPEM® TackPin™ Fastener has been selected as a finalist in the “2012 Golden Mousetrap Awards” competition sponsored by Design News in the category of “Materials & Assembly: Fastening, Joining and Assembly Components.” The magazine’s annual competition recognizes innovation and creativity in new product design based on evaluation and selection by the editors.

Winners from the field of finalists will be announced during a ceremony at the Pacific Design Engineering Show on Tuesday, February 12, 2013, in Anaheim, CA.
These microPEM™ TackPin™ (Type T™) fasteners for compact electronic assemblies enable sheet-to-sheet attachment, replacing costly screw installation in applications where disassembly is not required, serving as ideal alternatives to welds or adhesives, and offering cosmetic benefits associated with a low-profile head design. Among notable applications, these aluminum fasteners can be specified to attach super-thin membranes to very thin cosmetic substrates, such as keyboards. Their use eliminates typical screw-related issues (including tapping, cross-threading, torque control, and vibration backout) and ultimately promotes quick and easy installation using minimal hardware.
