Detailed Engineering Specifications

Manufactured under strict quality controls, this M5 x 14mm hex head cap screw features a nominal diameter of M5 and a length of 14mm. The head width measures 12mm, providing ample surface area for tool engagement. Constructed from high-performance nylon, it exhibits excellent tensile strength, chemical resistance to many solvents and acids, and a low coefficient of friction. Its dielectric properties make it suitable for electrical insulation. The material's inherent flexibility can also absorb minor vibrations. This fastener is designed for applications requiring a non-conductive, lightweight, and corrosion-proof joining solution.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the nylon screwUse a torque wrench set to the recommended specification for nylon fasteners to prevent damaging the threads or deforming the screw.
Using in extreme high-temperature applicationsVerify the operating temperature range of the nylon material against the application's requirements, as nylon has limitations at elevated temperatures.

Common Applications

  • Electrical and electronic equipment assembly
  • Marine and chemical processing environments
  • Medical device manufacturing

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not exceed the maximum recommended torque for nylon fasteners.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring high impact strength or extreme tensile loads beyond nylon's capabilities.
