Electro Hardware THS1012M01F07 Brass Thumb Screw 6-32

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE THS1012M01F07 is a knurled-head brass thumb screw designed for hand-tightening applications where tools are impractical or unnecessary. It carries a 6-32 UNC thread and measures 3/4 inch in overall length, making it suitable for panel fastening, enclosure covers, and light-duty instrument assemblies. The head is 3/8 inch in diameter and 3/16 inch tall, providing a solid grip surface. A nickel finish over the brass base adds corrosion resistance. The shoulder-style shank — with a 0.312-inch shoulder diameter and 1/8-inch shoulder length — provides positive seating against mating hardware. This fastener is intended for use by electricians, HVAC technicians, panel builders, and light industrial assemblers.

This thumb screw is suited for residential and commercial electrical enclosures, control panels, instrument housings, and similar assemblies requiring frequent manual access. Its small 6-32 thread size is common in low-voltage control panels and electronic equipment mounting. The knurled head allows repeated hand removal and reinstallation without tools, reducing service time during routine maintenance or inspection cycles.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard machine screw tapped holes
• Knurled head provides secure hand grip for tool-free installation and removal
• With-shoulder design seats positively against mating panels and flanges
• Nickel finish over brass for added corrosion resistance
• 3/4 inch overall length suits standard panel and cover thicknesses
• Meets ASTM B633 and multiple federal specifications including QQ-B-626B and QQ-N-290A

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation does not require tools and is performed by hand. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Do not overtighten — brass threads can strip under excessive torque. Follow applicable enclosure or panel assembly guidelines per NEC or equipment manufacturer instructions when used in electrical applications.
