The PF12MF is a spring-loaded, flare-mounted captive panel screw designed for secure, tool-free access to panels requiring repeated service. It installs into thin sheet materials and retains its screw body permanently, preventing loose hardware. The part features a large knob for manual actuation and installs flush on the back side of the panel. It is suitable for use in painted or stainless steel panels and accommodates threading misalignment. The screw is available in black finish and accepts an M3 thread size, as indicated by the series designation.
