Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this M15 x 11mm hex head cap screw boasts a head width of 35mm. Constructed from high-grade polycarbonate, it provides exceptional mechanical strength, excellent dielectric properties, and resistance to a broad spectrum of chemicals and UV radiation. Its lightweight nature reduces overall assembly weight, while the inherent toughness ensures long-term performance in vibration-prone or corrosive settings. This makes it a preferred choice for applications where metal fasteners are unsuitable due to conductivity, corrosion, or weight concerns.
