• Wide operational temperature range from -40° to 185° F, maintaining integrity and performance in varied thermal conditions.
• Easy installation and removal with a standard slotted drive, compatible with common hand tools for efficient maintenance.
• Lightweight and non-conductive properties make it perfect for electrical and electronic applications where metal fasteners are unsuitable.
• Full threading along the 5mm length provides maximum grip and holding power in pre-tapped holes or suitable materials.
• Environmentally compliant design meeting RoHS 3 standards, ensuring safety and regulatory adherence for global markets.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M3 nylon plastic rounded head screw is engineered to address common industrial challenges such as galvanic corrosion, electrical insulation needs, and weight reduction in assemblies. The nylon material offers inherent resistance to many chemicals, oils, and solvents, preventing degradation and ensuring long-term reliability in harsh conditions. With a coarse 0.5mm pitch and fully threaded metric design, it facilitates quick installation and strong retention in plastics, composites, or soft metals, reducing assembly time and improving production efficiency. The rounded cheese head profile and slotted drive allow for flush or low-profile fastening in consumer electronics, automotive components, and packaging machinery, where non-magnetic and lightweight fasteners are critical. Its right-hand thread direction and standardized dimensions ensure compatibility with existing metric systems, streamlining inventory and repair processes.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a metric M3 thread size with a 0.5mm coarse pitch and Class 6g thread fit per ISO standards, ensuring dimensional accuracy and interchangeability. The fully threaded design with a length of 5mm, head diameter of 5.5mm, and head height of 2mm provides consistent performance. It is manufactured in compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) regulations, confirming the absence of restricted hazardous substances for safe use in various industries.
