Material
Stainless Steel: For corrosion resistance and durability.
Carbon Steel: For general-purpose applications with optional coatings for corrosion resistance.
Aluminum: Lightweight applications where corrosion resistance is also needed.
Thread Types
Type AB: Designed for use in a wide range of materials, including plastic and metal.
Type B: For use in non-ferrous metals and plastics.
Thread Forming
Unlike standard screws that cut threads into the material, thread-forming screws create threads by displacing material. This makes them ideal for use in materials like plastic or soft metals where cutting threads might weaken the material.
Applications
Automotive Industry
Dashboards and Interior Panels: Used to secure plastic panels and trim pieces.
Engine Components: Used in areas where vibration is prevalent to prevent loosening.
Electronic Modules: Fastening electronic control units and sensors.
Electronics
Circuit Boards: Attaching components to printed circuit boards (PCBs) without damaging delicate materials.
Enclosures: Securing plastic or metal enclosures for electronic devices.
Heat Sinks: Attaching heat sinks to components to ensure good thermal contact.
Plastic Assemblies
Consumer Products: Used in household appliances, toys, and other plastic products where a secure fit is necessary.
Medical Devices: Ensuring components in medical devices remain securely fastened.
Furniture Assembly: Used in plastic parts of furniture for secure and durable joints.
