3mm x 16mm Torx Countersunk PT45 Screw for Hard Plastics | A2 Stainless Steel
Suitable for polycarbonate mouldings and reinforced plastic components, this 3mm x 16mm Torx Countersunk screw uses the PT45 thread geometry intended for hard plastic components. The three-lobed thread body concentrates forming pressure at specific points while the T8 Torx drive provides positive tool engagement during installation.
What Are Torx Countersunk PT45 Screws?
PT45 Torx Countersunk Screws use a three-lobed thread body that concentrates forming pressure around three points of the pilot hole. This geometry supports thread formation in harder plastics while the Torx recess provides high contact area for efficient torque transfer.
Common Applications
- Lighting Products: Secures rigid plastic bezels, covers and housings where a flush finished face is useful.
- Food and Catering Equipment: Supports suitable rigid-plastic assemblies where corrosion-resistant A2 Stainless Steel is preferred.
- Automotive Components: Fastens rigid plastic trim and moulded parts where a low-profile screw head and Torx drive are beneficial.
- Industrial Equipment: Fastens hard-plastic guards, covers and instrument housings on machinery and control equipment.
