Electro Hardware THS1011M04F16 Aluminum Thumb Screw 6-32

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE THS1011M04F16 is an aluminum knurled thumb screw designed for hand-tightened fastening applications where tools are not practical or available. The screw features a 6-32 UNC thread and includes a shoulder, making it well suited for applications that require a positive stop or controlled insertion depth. The head is knurled for a secure finger grip. Head material is brass, while the shank is aluminum with an uncoated finish. Overall length is 0.6875 inches. Licensed trades and assembly technicians working in panel fabrication, enclosure assembly, and light mechanical equipment commonly use this fastener type.

This thumb screw is used in residential and commercial applications wherever frequent hand access is required, such as electronic enclosures, control panels, equipment covers, and instrument housings. The 6-32 UNC thread is a standard size found widely in electrical and electronic hardware. The shoulder design supports precise fit in countered or stepped clearance holes. Installation requires no power tools and is handled by electricians, panel builders, and mechanical assembly technicians during equipment build or field service.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools and is completed by hand. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Do not overtighten by hand, as aluminum fasteners can gall or strip threads in softer mating materials. Follow applicable enclosure and panel assembly procedures per NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when installing in electrical enclosures.
