New Captive Screw Offers Extended Length For Varying Panel Thicknesses

Southco has expanded its extensive line of captive screws with a new option covering the majority of panel fastening applications. Southco’s 4C Extended Length Captive Screw provides a standard solution for sheet metal and panel applications requiring different screw lengths.

The 4C Extended Length Captive Screw reduces lead time and simplifies designs that would have previously required modified screw lengths. The 4C Extended Length Captive Screw ensures that designers have easy access to a standard solution for non-standard panel designs and sheet metal thicknesses.

Designed as a precise solution for panels, mounting doors and other hardware applications, Southco’s 4C Extended Length Captive Screw is available in a variety of tool actuation and installation styles, including press-in and flare-in.

The captive screws feature heat-treated steel for superior torque strength, while color-coded overmolded head options allow designers to differentiate access points or coordinate hardware with the overall design scheme.
