3.5mm x 12mm - Torx Flanged PT30 Screws for Soft Plastics- Black Zinc Plated Steel | Vital Parts (TFPT30-35-12-BLZN)

Torx Flanged PT30 Screws are the perfect solution for fastening into soft plastics, engineered to provide superior grip, reduced installation torque, and enhanced durability. Designed with the specialized PT30 thread, these screws offer excellent performance across a wide range of plastic materials, ensuring a secure hold with minimal radial stress, making them ideal for applications where thin-walled bosses are used.

Why Choose Torx Flanged PT30 Screws?

• Optimized for Soft Plastics - The PT30 thread design ensures strong engagement with plastic components, minimizing material stress and reducing the risk of damage.
• Low Installation Torque - Designed for easy driving with reduced effort, making assembly faster and more efficient.
• Flanged Head for Better Load Distribution - The integrated flange spreads the load over a wider surface area, preventing over-compression and damage to delicate materials.
• Torx Drive for Superior Torque Control - Unlike traditional Phillips or slotted drives, Torx drives allow for higher installation torque without cam-out, reducing tool wear and improving overall efficiency.
