Can anyone point me to a type of turret that can be swaged into a hole of a perfboard, but instead of being a solder turret it provides a female M3 threaded insert fully through the board? Kind of like attaching a female-female standoff to a board permanently so a screw can thread right through it. I don't know how to better describe it, but I swear I've seen PCB's that have swaged cylindrical risers on them that are threaded. Does Keystone or maybe Mill-Max make a part like this?

Hunting around, I may try using soft aluminum rivet nuts. I need to learn how to use rivet nuts anyway. I'm hoping that since they are soft aluminum it won't deform the PCB board once its locked into the hole. I'll also through plate the holes where these will be going into that will add much strength when the rivet nut tool torques it down. Much cheaper than the electronic sellers of swaged products. Has anyone used rivet nuts in a PCB?
