Electro Hardware THS1011M07F16 Thumb Screw 6-32 Knurled

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE THS1011M07F16 is a 303 stainless steel thumb screw designed for hand-tightened fastening applications where tools are not practical or accessible. The knurled head provides a secure grip for finger torquing, while the shoulder design positions and registers mating components with added precision. Machined to UNC thread standards at a 6-32 thread size, this fastener meets QQ-S-763 material specifications. The uncoated 303 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in mildly corrosive environments, making it a reliable choice for panel assemblies, enclosures, and equipment requiring frequent access.

This thumb screw is suited for light industrial, electronic, and mechanical assembly applications where a tool-free fastener is required. Common install scenarios include control panel covers, junction box lids, instrumentation enclosures, and equipment access doors. The with-shoulder configuration is especially useful when a locating or anti-rotation feature is needed in the assembly. Typical installers include electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assembly technicians working on control enclosures and equipment panels.

Key Features

• 303 stainless steel construction meets QQ-S-763 specification for corrosion resistance
• Knurled head allows hand-tightening without tools
• With-shoulder design provides component location and registration
• 6-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-system tapped holes
• Uncoated finish maintains base material properties without surface treatment variables
• Compact overall length of 0.6875 inches suits shallow panel and enclosure applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fastener for assemblies using 6-32 UNC tapped holes requiring a knurled thumb screw with shoulder.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require special tooling — the knurled head is designed for hand tightening only. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading in the fastener. Do not use a screwdriver or wrench on the knurled head, as this may damage the head geometry or strip the threads. Observe applicable electrical and mechanical codes when installing fasteners in energized enclosures; de-energize equipment before servicing panel hardware.
