Electro Hardware 4108M07F16 Captive Screw 6-32 Unc

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE 4108M07F16 is a slotted-drive captive screw designed for secure, retained fastening in panels, enclosures, and equipment assemblies. Threaded to 6-32 UNC specification, this screw features a 25/32-inch length under head and is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. The captive design keeps the fastener retained in the panel even when fully backed out, which prevents dropped hardware during service or assembly. It is suited for HVAC control panels, electrical enclosures, and similar light-gauge sheet metal applications where tool-accessible fasteners are required.

This captive screw fits applications where frequent panel removal is part of routine service - control board access covers, junction box lids, and equipment access panels in commercial and residential systems. The 5/16-inch head diameter and 3/16-inch head height are sized for standard slotted-drive tooling. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor mechanical room environments and light-exposure installations. HVAC technicians, electricians, and equipment assembly personnel are the primary installers of this fastener type.

Key Features

• Captive design retains the screw in the panel when disengaged, eliminating dropped fasteners during service
• 6-32 UNC thread standard for compatibility with standard tapped panel holes
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Uncoated finish - no plating to chip or flake in service environments
• Meets QQ-S-763 material standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style captive fastener for panels and enclosures with 6-32 UNC tapped holes requiring a retained slotted-drive screw.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot. De-energize and lock out all equipment before opening any panel or enclosure to access fasteners. Do not over-torque stainless fasteners into tapped holes, as galling can occur - use consistent, moderate torque and back off immediately if resistance increases unexpectedly. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines for panel access and reassembly.
