The world has changed dramatically since screws were invented over 2,000 years ago. Empires have come and gone – yet open any cutting-edge electronic device and you're still likely to find tiny screws inside of the assembly.

PennEngineering®, a global leader in the fastening industry since 1942, has designed and developed the microPEM® family of micro fastening solutions as an innovative alternative to conventional screws.

microPEM products – including TackSert®, TackPin® and TackScrew® fasteners – are not only proven to save time and resources, but they also enable applications that are above and beyond the capability of screws. They can also reduce costs and eliminate issues commonly associated with screw installation – like tapping, cross-threading, torque control and vibration backout.

Compared to screws of equal size, TackPin and TackSert products are smaller, lighter and stronger. They're also proven to be more reliable and easier to install while producing less scrap waste and reducing installation tooling cost.

Some of the most common applications for microPEM Tack products include automotive electronics and consumer electronic applications like infotainment systems, laptops, smartphones, wearables and gaming/VR systems.
