Captive Screws - Countersunk

Captive Screws are secure joint fasteners designed to remain attached to the component they are installed in, even when fully loosened, providing convenience, security and ease of use in a variety of applications. They are a popular choice for applications where screws need to be removed frequently or where safety is a concern, as these screws will stay firmly in place and will not loosen from the assembly.

This range of Captive Screws features a countersunk head and hexagonal drive. Hexagonal drives are ideal for precision assembly and are used where less surface area is available. They are used to comply with Machinery Detective 2006/42/EC - in general, ISO 1207, which requires fasteners to stay attached to fixed guards or applications when they are removed.

The screws are made from Stainless Steel, which is corrosion resistant and slightly magnetic. These screws are commonly used in electronics, industrial machinery, cabinets, panels and medical devices.

Please keep in mind that because these screws have a smaller shank diameter, they should not be tightened to the suggested torque for an identical screw with the same thread size.
