3mm x 12mm Torx Pan PT45 Screw for Hard Plastics | Bright Zinc Plated Steel
Built for consumer electronics and appliance housings, this 3mm x 12mm PT45 Screw uses a Pan head, T8 Torx drive and Bright Zinc Plated Steel construction. The specialised thread form is designed for harder plastics where a shorter thread profile and strong drive-to-strip performance are useful.
What Are Torx Pan PT45 Screws?
Torx Pan PT45 screws are designed for moulded or predrilled pilot holes in harder plastics and reinforced materials. The Pan head provides a broad bearing surface while the Torx recess gives strong driver contact for manual or automated assembly.
Common Applications
- Manufactured Plastic Parts: Supports repeatable assembly of moulded hard-plastic components with correctly sized pilot holes.
- Furniture Components: Secures suitable engineering-plastic fittings and components used in furniture manufacture.
- Electrical Enclosures: Secures hard-plastic covers, panels and housings used in electrical and control equipment.
- Appliance Housings: Provides a dedicated fastening method for rigid plastic covers, panels and moulded parts.
