Datasheet
Datasheet Summary
Powered by GS/AI

The PF31™ is a low-profile, spring-loaded captive panel screw designed for easy tool or finger operation, with a large slotted head. It is intended for use in thin metal panels where repeated access is required, and it installs into holes in aluminum or cold-rolled steel sheets. For M3 threading, the recommended tightening torque is 9.8 N·m, with a minimum tensile strength of 465 N and retainers capable of withstanding 465 N installation force and 489 N pushout force in cold-rolled steel. The part is spring-loaded and features a dual-square head for tool engagement, suitable for applications requiring alignment and minimal protrusion.
