The F5-832-P4 captive screw is designed for use in applications requiring a flush fastening solution. It features a shell made from 303 stainless steel with a passivated finish, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. The screw itself is available in both slotted and Phillips head styles, with the slotted version also made from 303 stainless steel and the Phillips version from 430 stainless steel, both passivated. This captive screw is suitable for installation in materials such as aluminum and low carbon steels that are 1/4 hard or softer. It allows for a total movement of 0.5 mm (0.02 inches) during operation, which can be beneficial in applications where slight adjustments are necessary. The product is shipped assembled, simplifying the installation process.
