The PF11PM series consists of large knob, spring-loaded captive panel screws with a Phillips drive, designed for installation into sheet metal up to HRB 80 or HB 150 hardness. The knob is made of PC/ABS (UL 94V-0, halogen-free) and available in colored finishes including green; the screw and retainer are hardened carbon steel with a zinc-plated finish, and the spring and clip are 300 series stainless steel. It features a non-flush, captive design with a self-clinching retainer and provides a minimum float of 0.25 mm in all directions. The part is threaded for #6-32 (M3 x 0.5) and installed in sheet thicknesses up to 0.120 in (3.05 mm). The assembly includes a clinching profile, a shoulder stop for controlled installation, and a dot pattern on the head indicating metric threading. All variants share the same material composition and mechanical properties.
