Thread
Available in a variety of thread sizes, including
Metric: M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, etc.
Imperial: 4-40, 6-32, 8-32, 10-32, etc.
Typically designed to be much thinner than standard nuts to fit within tight spaces.
Coarse Threads: Easier to install and remove, more resistant to cross-threading, and suitable for general use.
Fine Threads: Provide a tighter fit, more resistant to loosening due to vibration, and used in precision applications.
Materials
Steel: Often zinc-plated to resist corrosion, suitable for general-purpose applications.
Stainless Steel: Offers superior corrosion resistance, ideal for harsh environments or where long-term durability is required.
Brass: Excellent for applications requiring good electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion, often used in electrical assemblies.
Applications
Electrical Enclosures: Used to secure switches, outlets, and other components in electrical panels.
Automotive: Commonly found in dashboards, instrument panels, and other areas where components need to be secured to thin metal or plastic panels.
Appliances: Employed in securing parts within household appliances like washing machines, dryers, and refrigerators.
Electronics: Utilized in securing circuit boards, displays, and other components within electronic devices.
