Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening, leading to potential thread stripping or head deformation.Apply torque gradually and avoid exceeding the recommended clamping force for polycarbonate materials.
Using inappropriate tools that can damage the hex recess.Utilize high-quality hex wrenches or drivers that precisely fit the head recess to prevent cam-out and damage.

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosures and equipment mounting
  • Medical device assembly
  • Lightweight structural components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong solvents or abrasive cleaners that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use in applications requiring continuous exposure to temperatures exceeding the material's thermal limits.
