30% Glass Filled Nylon 6/6 Machine Screw, Binding Head, Slotted Drive, 1/4"-20, 5/16" Length (Pack of 500)

Machine Screws, also referred to as Machine Bolts, are often used with nuts or driven into tapped holes. They come in a variety of head types and drive styles, but are generally available in smaller sizes.Super Tough Nylon is a modified Nylon 6/6 material which performs better at low temperatures. Impact Strength, as measured by the Izod impact test method (which measures force required to break material), is 17 pounds per foot. This is significantly tougher than standard Nylon 6/6, which is rated at 3 pounds per foot. Tensile strength is estimated to be 11,600 psi (pounds per square inch) at -40 degrees Fahrenheit. Nylon 6/6 is a general purpose thermoplastic with outstanding resistance to organic chemicals, acids and alkalis. Nylon wears well against other surfaces, it is readily machinable and may be milled, turned and cut with conventional machine tools. It does exhibit some dimensional swelling in wet applications which should be taken into account with its use.Generally used in electrical or radio work, these fasteners are slightly undercut under the head. That provides the ability to bind stranded wire tightly and prevent fraying. Common applications for slotted screws include woodworking, although the drive style is not designed to be used with power drivers. A threaded fastener's size name includes information about the major external diameter, followed by the threads per inch, which indicates if it is coarse or fine. Coarse threads are better when working with brittle materials; they are sturdier and are easier to thread and unthread compared to fine. Coarse threading also allows for thicker coatings and platings.

• Machine Screws are often used with nuts or driven into tapped holes
• Super Tough Nylon 6/6 is a general purpose plastic that is suitable where high impact strength is important
• Binding head provides a large surface area for extra surface contact under the head
• Driven by a flat-bladed driver
• Coarse threads are better for brittle materials, and will assemble and disassemble more quickly than fine threads
