Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the polycarbonate screw, leading to thread stripping or component deformation.Use a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended specification for polycarbonate fasteners. Apply gradual, consistent pressure.
Using the screw in an application with excessive thermal expansion or contraction beyond polycarbonate's capabilities.Evaluate the operating temperature range and potential for thermal stress. Consider alternative materials if extreme temperature fluctuations are expected.

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosure assemblies
  • Lightweight structural components
  • Corrosion-sensitive environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not recommended for high-load bearing applications where significant shear or tensile strength is required.
  • Avoid exposure to UV radiation for extended periods, which may degrade polycarbonate over time. Consider UV-resistant grades if applicable.
