Thread-Forming Screws

Special profiles that displace plastic material to create stronger reusable threads with lower radial stress.

Self-Tapping Screws

Cost-effective screws for pilot-hole assemblies, covers, housings and lighter plastic components.

Threaded Inserts

Brass and steel inserts for assemblies that need repeated service, higher clamp loads or metal threads.

Standoffs & Spacers

Plastic-compatible spacing hardware for enclosures, panels, electronics and lightweight structural supports.

Avoid cracked bosses and stripped threads

Plastic joints fail when the screw geometry, pilot hole, boss design and assembly torque are not matched. A screw that works in metal can split a plastic boss or relax after cycling. Choosing the correct thread profile and drive style helps preserve clamp load while keeping insertion torque under control.

Material-aware selection

ABS, PA, PP, PC and filled plastics behave differently, so thread angle and pilot-hole guidance should match the substrate.

Torque and pull-out support

We can help compare fastener options where assembly torque, stripping torque and pull-out strength are key concerns.

Production-ready supply

Quote small development runs, packed production quantities or mixed fastener sets for assemblies with multiple joint types.
