The component's moisture-resistant zinc plating protects the inner metal, preventing it from rusting or tarnishing and ensuring a long product life. Its steel-spring cage also has a passivated coating that's chemical and corrosion-resistant for use in harsh settings. This screw is a convenient solution for mounting equipment in blind locations as you don't need a drill to fix it in place.


This versatile nut is suitable to use on a wide variety of panels ranging in thickness from 0.9 mm to 2 mm. You'll find fasteners like this one used in both industrial and electronic applications.
