The PF11PM series is a spring-loaded, captive panel screw with a large knob, designed for easy service access and mounted in sheets of hardness HRB 80 or less or HB 150 or less. The screw features a Phillips drive, a #6-32 Unified thread, and a plastic PC/ABS knob (UL 94V-0, halogen-free) with a blue color code. The retainer is flare-mounted, enabling floating capability of at least 0.25 mm in all directions. The screw and retainer are made of hardened carbon steel, the spring of 300 series stainless steel, and the shoulder has a bright nickel finish per ASTM B689. Installation requires a .28 inch minimum edge distance and a .219 inch hole in sheet thickness up to .036 inch. The part is intended for use in thin metal panels and circuit boards where loose hardware must be avoided.
