Description
Thread Rolling Screws Phillips Pan Head 18/8 Stainless Steel Tri-Lobe 48-2 #8-16 x 1/4" Plastite Screws Alternative are designed for durable, high-torque fastening in plastics and light-metal assemblies. The thread-rolling design creates strong, clean threads as you drive, reducing the need for pre-tapping and delivering excellent grip in soft materials. Self-tapping thread rolling action forms robust internal threads for a secure hold in plastics and other soft substrates. Phillips Pan Head provides a broad bearing surface for a flush, low-profile finish. 18/8 stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance and durability in challenging environments. Tri-Lobe drive (48-2) minimizes cam-out and improves torque transfer over standard Phillips drive. #8-16 x 1/4" size — an ideal Plastite screws alternative for durable, stainless fastenings. These screws are ideal for electronics housings, plastic enclosures, automotive interiors, appliances, and other assemblies where a corrosion-resistant, high-strength fastener is needed. Choose these to replace Plastite screws when you require the benefits of stainless steel and a tri-lobe drive.
