Pan Head Screws

What is pan head screws?

Pan head screws are a type of fastener with a rounded, dome-shaped head that sits above the surface of the material it is being screwed into. The head of a pan head screw has a flat or slightly curved top, and the sides of the head slope down to meet the shank, which is the threaded part of the screw that extends down into the material.

Pan head screws are commonly used in a variety of applications, including electronics, automotive, and construction. They are often used in situations where a low-profile screw head is needed, or where a more decorative appearance is desired. They are also used in applications where a flat-head screw may not provide enough strength, but a larger head, such as a round or oval head, would be too bulky.

Pan head screws are a type of fastener that have a flat, rounded head with a tapered underside that sits flush with the surface of the material being fastened. They are commonly used in woodworking, electronics, and general assembly applications.

The specifications for pan head screws can vary depending on the application and the materials being fastened. However, here are some general specifications that can be used as a reference:

• Head Diameter: Typically ranges from 4mm to 12mm.

• Head Height: Typically ranges from 1.5mm to 4mm.

• Thread Diameter: Typically ranges from 2mm to 10mm.

• Thread Pitch: The number of threads per inch or millimeter, which can vary depending on the thread diameter.

• Material: Can be made from a variety of materials, including steel, stainless steel, brass, and nylon.

• Finish: Can be plain, zinc-plated, black oxide-coated, or other types of coatings.

It is important to consult the specific application and material requirements when selecting the appropriate pan head screw specifications to ensure proper functionality and durability.
