Detailed Engineering Specifications

Manufactured under strict quality controls, this M6 x 146mm hex head cap screw is precision-molded from high-grade Nylon 6/6. The material provides excellent tensile strength, impact resistance, and a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for corrosive or electrically sensitive applications. The M6 thread ensures compatibility with standard metric fasteners, while the generous 35mm head width offers increased surface bearing area, distributing load effectively and preventing material damage. This non-conductive fastener is ideal for applications where galvanic corrosion or electrical conductivity is a concern.
