S-97263A706 2-56 x 5/16" Plastic Round Head Slotted Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Corrosion-resistant nylon construction ensures reliable performance in humid or chemically exposed environments without rust or degradation.
• Wide operating temperature range (-40° to 185°F) maintains structural integrity and fastening reliability in both extreme cold and moderate heat applications.
• Class 2A thread fit with UNC coarse threading provides easy, quick installation and secure holding power in plastic and soft materials.
• Slotted drive rounded head design offers straightforward installation with standard screwdrivers while presenting a smooth, snag-free profile.
• RoHS 3 compliance guarantees environmental safety and regulatory acceptance for electronics and consumer products.
• Fully threaded shank maximizes grip length and distributes load evenly across the entire fastener engagement.
• Lightweight non-conductive properties prevent electrical shorts and reduce overall assembly weight versus metal alternatives.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These nylon plastic screws with 2-56 UNC coarse threads and rounded head slotted drive solve critical challenges in electrical enclosures, consumer electronics, and lightweight assemblies. The nylon material provides excellent dielectric insulation while resisting chemicals, moisture, and corrosion that would degrade metal fasteners. The Class 2A thread fit ensures consistent engagement in plastic bosses and threaded inserts, reducing cross-threading risks during high-volume assembly. With a temperature range from -40° to 185°F, these fasteners maintain dimensional stability in outdoor equipment, automotive interiors, and HVAC components where thermal cycling occurs. The slotted drive offers compatibility with standard installation tools, making them ideal for maintenance and field service applications.

Specification Summary & Compliance
