Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening the polycarbonate screw, leading to thread stripping or head deformation.Use a torque wrench set to the recommended value for polycarbonate fasteners. Do not exceed manufacturer-specified torque limits.
Using excessive force with power tools, which can damage the screw or the mating material.Employ hand tools or low-speed, low-torque power tools specifically designed for plastic fasteners.

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosures and equipment mounting
  • Corrosion-resistant assemblies in chemical environments
  • Lightweight structural components where conductivity is undesirable

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for structural load-bearing applications requiring high tensile strength.
  • Avoid exposure to solvents or chemicals not compatible with polycarbonate.
