Description
Monster Overview:
Engineered for thermoplastic assemblies, these
#8-16 6-Lobe (Torx) Flat Head PT 48-2 Thread-Forming Screws use a
Plastite-alternative tri-lobular flank to cold-flow plastic and cut
high-holding, chip-free threads—no pre-tapping, no debris.
Heat-treated carbon-steel blanks get a deep black-oxide
conversion coat for low-glare corrosion protection, then a factory
wax film that delivers consistently low seating torque.
Bulk master cartons keep your per-unit cost razor-low for high-volume lines.
Monster Features:
- Flush 82° Flat Head: Leaves a smooth surface on thin lids, bezels and access covers.
- Plastite-Alt. PT 48-2 Geometry: Maximises pull-out strength while resisting strip-out in ABS, nylon, PC & more.
- Drive: Torx® T20 6-lobe recess—high torque, virtually zero cam-out.
- Material & Finish: Heat-treated carbon steel, black-oxide + dry wax for repeatable clamp load.
- Bulk Packaging: Supplied in sealed master cartons—ideal for appliance, electronics & enclosure production.
