Designed for plastic parts
PT thread self tapping screws are commonly used where plastic components need direct fastening without a pre-installed metal insert. The thread form is selected to support engagement and reduce damage to the plastic boss.
Application considerations
Plastic type, boss design, pilot hole size and installation torque all influence performance. The screw should be tested with the actual part before mass production.
Production benefits
For suitable designs, PT thread screws can help reduce assembly steps and component count. Consistent screw geometry also supports more stable automated or semi-automated installation.
