S-92060A378 M5 x 8.8 mm Captive Panel Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Enhanced grip and torque application with a fully knurled aluminum head for secure handling, even with gloves or oily fingers.
• Superior corrosion resistance and strength from the 400 Series Stainless Steel threaded body, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Quick and easy manual installation/removal without tools, thanks to the thumb head design and Phillips No. 2 drive backup.
• Secure captive panel retention designed for 6.4mm holes and 1-1.6mm panel thickness, preventing loss and simplifying assembly.
• Robust coarse thread (M5 x 0.8mm) provides faster engagement and reduced cross-threading risk in metal and composite panels.
• Lightweight yet durable construction from the aluminum head and stainless steel body, ideal for weight-sensitive applications like electronics.
• Compliance with global environmental standards including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safe use in regulated industries.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M5 thumb screw is engineered to solve common assembly challenges in electronic enclosures, instrumentation panels, and access covers. The combination of an aluminum knurled head and a 400 series stainless steel threaded body offers an optimal balance of lightweight handling and high tensile strength, resisting vibration loosening and corrosion. The coarse metric thread (0.8mm pitch) ensures rapid installation and secure fastening in thin sheet metal (1mm to 1.6mm), reducing assembly time and improving production line efficiency. As a captive panel screw, it remains attached to the panel, eliminating dropped hardware in hard-to-reach areas and maintaining integrity in frequently serviced equipment.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features M5 x 0.8mm coarse metric threads with a right-hand thread direction, conforming to standard metric dimensional tolerances. The 13mm diameter knurled head and Phillips No. 2 drive provide versatile driving options. It is manufactured to be fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it meets stringent environmental and safety standards for industrial and electronic applications.
