 PEM® Types PF7M™ and PF7MF™ Captive Panel Screws

PEM® Types PF7M™ and PF7MF™ Captive Panel Screws

PEM® Types PF7M™ and PF7MF™ captive panel screws provide two distinct mounting styles for permanent installation into thin sheets. Both feature small, compact, and low-profile designs ideally suited for limited access areas and benefit from patented MAThread® anti-cross threading technology. Their Phillips recess allows for tool or hand operation. These fasteners install flush on the back side of panels as thin as .036” / 0.92mm (.031” / 0.79mm for PF7MFTM) and are available in two screw lengths with thread sizes #4-40 through #8-32 and M3 to M4. They can install reliably into panels with hardness of HRB 80 or less or HB 150 or less.
