Detailed Engineering Specifications

Trusted by engineers across multiple sectors, this M6 x 105mm Hex Head Cap Screw boasts superior impact resistance and excellent dielectric properties due to its robust polycarbonate construction. The M6 thread provides a secure M6 thread engagement, and the 105mm length offers ample fastening depth. With a head width of 13mm, it is designed for standard tooling. Polycarbonate's inherent resistance to a wide range of chemicals and its non-conductive nature make it an indispensable choice for applications requiring both mechanical integrity and electrical isolation, such as in chemical processing equipment, electrical enclosures, and marine environments where corrosion is a significant concern.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the polycarbonate screw, leading to stripping or cracking.Use a torque wrench and adhere to recommended torque specifications for polycarbonate fasteners to prevent damage.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can degrade polycarbonate.Consult the material data sheet for recommended cleaning solutions and avoid harsh solvents.

Common Applications

  • Chemical Processing Equipment
  • Electrical Enclosures
  • Marine Applications
  • Medical Devices
  • Corrosion-Resistant Assemblies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate has a lower tensile strength than metal; do not use for critical structural load-bearing applications where high clamping forces are required.
  • While chemically resistant, prolonged exposure to certain aggressive solvents may degrade the material. Verify compatibility for specific chemical environments.
