[100 PKG] Captive Screws | #10-32 X 3/8 | Type 4 | H.D. 5/16 | Stainless Steel | Passivated

Captive screws are specialized fasteners engineered to remain attached to a panel or assembly, preventing loss during maintenance and ensuring reliable performance in dynamic environments. They are commonly specified in industries such as electronics, aerospace, and machinery for applications requiring repeated access without compromising structural integrity. For specifications, key attributes include: - Dimensions: Thread size #10-32, length 3/8 inch, head diameter 5/16 inch - Finish: Passivated - Thread Type: Unified coarse thread In terms of features, these captive screws offer functional advantages for precision fastening needs. The captive mechanism allows the screw to stay in place even when loosened, reducing downtime in assembly lines or field repairs by minimizing the risk of dropped components in tight spaces. Additionally, the passivated stainless steel construction enhances durability against environmental factors like moisture and chemicals, making it an optimal choice for outdoor equipment or marine applications where standard fasteners might corrode prematurely.
