Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M3 thumb screw combines the corrosion resistance of 18-8 stainless steel with the ergonomic benefits of a knurled acetal plastic head to solve common assembly challenges. The low-profile round head minimizes protrusion in compact electronic enclosures, instrumentation, and machinery panels, while the coarse metric thread ensures quick seating and vibration resistance. Fully threaded and with a Class 4g6g thread fit, it provides uniform load distribution, reducing the risk of cross-threading in high-cycle applications. Ideal for maintenance access panels, adjustable components, and industrial thumb screw uses where tool-free operation and durability are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This M3 x 0.5 mm x 16 mm thumb screw adheres to metric coarse thread standards with a Class 4g6g thread fit for precise dimensional accuracy. Manufacturing follows industry specifications for fully threaded right-hand fasteners, and the product is verified as RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant, ensuring it meets stringent environmental and safety regulations for global industrial supply chains.
