5mm x 12mm Torx Pan PT45 Screw for Hard Plastics | Bright Zinc Plated Steel
Providing a dedicated fastening option for reinforced plastic components, this 5mm x 12mm Torx Pan PT45 Screw combines a 45° trilobular thread with Bright Zinc Plated Steel. The design sits between a PT30 screw and a conventional self tapping screw which makes it well suited to harder plastics and fibre-reinforced materials.
What Are Torx Pan PT45 Screws?
Torx Pan PT45 Screws are thread-forming fasteners developed for harder plastics. Their 45° trilobular thread has shorter flanks than PT30 screws and is better suited to materials such as polycarbonate and glass-reinforced plastics. The Torx drive offers high contact area for efficient torque transfer.
Common Applications
- Furniture Components: Secures suitable engineering-plastic fittings and components used in furniture manufacture.
- Glass-Reinforced Plastics: Provides a specialised thread-forming fastening option for compatible reinforced plastic parts.
- Appliance Housings: Provides a dedicated fastening method for rigid plastic covers, panels and moulded parts.
- Lighting Products: Secures rigid plastic bezels, covers and housings used in suitable lighting equipment.
