S-90548A114 6-32 x 0.41" Captive Panel Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Enhanced Grip and Durability: Knurled, powder-coated aluminum head provides superior tactile control and resists wear during repeated manual adjustments.
• Corrosion-Resistant Threads: 400 series stainless steel construction ensures long-term reliability and prevents seizing in demanding industrial environments.
• Quick and Secure Fastening: Coarse 6-32 UNC thread profile with a right-hand direction enables rapid installation and a robust hold in panel applications.
• Optimized for Standard Panels: Specifically designed for 0.25" panel holes and material thicknesses from 0.02" to 0.039", ensuring a perfect fit and captive performance.
• Effortless Manual Operation: Round thumb head with Phillips #2 drive offers dual driving options for tool-free assembly or additional torque application.
• Compliant for Global Markets: Meets RoHS 3 and REACH environmental regulations, making it suitable for use in regulated industries and international supply chains.
• Lightweight yet Robust: Aluminum body and head reduce overall weight without compromising on the structural integrity required for panel retention.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 6-32 UNC thumb screw is engineered to solve common challenges in electronic enclosures, communication panels, and industrial control systems where frequent access is required. The knurled head texture and powder-coated aluminum construction prevent slipping, allowing technicians to make secure adjustments without tools, even with gloved hands. The 400 series stainless steel threads provide excellent resistance to corrosion and galling, ensuring the screw can be removed and reinstalled repeatedly without cross-threading or failure. This combination of a coarse UNC thread and a captive panel screw design guarantees that the fastener remains engaged with the panel, preventing loss and speeding up maintenance cycles. Its precise fit for 0.25" panel holes and specific thickness ranges eliminates the need for additional hardware, reducing inventory complexity and assembly time in high-volume production environments.
