1.6mm 5052 H32 Aluminium VS 1.2 mm cold rolled steel half hard

You would need to get this data from the supplier of the standoffs. PEM show these values in their catalogue for both aluminium and steel, but both are for 1.5mm material.

You have to be kidding.

You are wondering about the strength of the connection of the PCB and the standoff? The PCB isn't a load bearing component. I dare say the PCB will break long before the threads, screw or standoff would break regardless of if you use a steel or aluminum standoff or a steel or aluminum screw.

Generally which standoff to use boils down to what you can get ahold of.

Hi Travis,

I am concerned on the holding strength of standoff between PCB and Aluminium/steel sheet. I have 2 options whether to choose the aluminium or steel sheet.(1.6mm 5052 H32 Aluminium VS 1.2 mm cold rolled steel half hard).As I enquired before, which one perform better by comparing the pushout/pullout values when the standoff is seated between PCB and Aluminium/steel sheet.
