Description
Monster Overview:
Drive production efficiency with bulk #8-16 Phillips Pan Head PT 48-2 Thread-Forming Screws from Monster Bolts. The tri-lobular Plastite® profile plastically flows thermoplastic material to create strong, burr-free internal threads—no pre-tapping, no chips. Forged from hardened 410 stainless steel for greater shear strength, every screw is passivated to ASTM A967 and factory wax-coated for consistently low seating torque. Fully threaded screws are stocked in a range of lengths and packed in master cartons to keep your per-unit cost to a minimum.
Monster Features:
- Thread-Forming Geometry: PT 48-2 flank maximises pull-out resistance while minimising strip-out in ABS, nylon, polycarbonate, and more.
- Drive: Phillips #2 cross recess—universally compatible with manual, pneumatic, and automated drivers.
- Head Style: Low-profile pan head spreads load without countersinking; ideal for thin plastic housings.
- Material & Finish: Heat-treated 410 stainless (martensitic, magnetic), passivated + dry, clean wax for smooth installation.
- Bulk Packaging: Supplied in sealed master cartons—ready for high-volume consumer-electronics and medical assemblies.
