The MAThread features self-clinching, flare-mounted, and floating styles.



The PEM (Danboro, PA) family of captive panel screws feature various types and styles benefiting from patented MAThread anti-cross threading technology that easily corrects off-angle installations, aligns components, and slides through clogged internal threads. The MAThread features:

  • Eliminates failures, repairs, scrap, and downtime typically associated with thread damage.
  • Cams over the female thread; the 2 thread helixes then align perfectly; and fasteners drive quickly and properly without effort.
  • Includes self-clinching, flare-mounted, and floating styles with knurled or smooth metal caps or plastic PEM C.A.P.S. (colored access panel screws)
  • Includes recessed-head and low-profile panel fastener assemblies.
  • Is RoHS-compliant and available in a range of unified and metric thread sizes and in assorted screw lengths.
