Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the screw, leading to thread stripping or material fracture.Utilize a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended torque for polycarbonate fasteners. Avoid excessive force.
Using the wrong type of driver, potentially damaging the hex head recess.Employ a properly sized and conditioned hex driver or wrench that fits snugly into the head recess.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing equipment assembly
  • Electrical enclosure fastening
  • Medical device construction

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for applications requiring high shear strength or extreme temperature resistance beyond polycarbonate's limits.
  • Ensure compatibility with mating materials to prevent galvanic corrosion if used in conjunction with dissimilar metals.
