5mm x 16mm Torx Pan PT45 Screw for Hard Plastics | Bright Zinc Plated Steel
Built for engineering plastics used in manufactured assemblies, this 5mm x 16mm PT45 Screw uses a Pan head, T20 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 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
- 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.
