Electro Hardware THS1056M01F07 Brass Thumb Screw 8-32

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE THS1056M01F07 is a knurled-head thumb screw machined from brass with a nickel finish, designed for hand-tightening applications where tool-free fastening is required. It carries an 8-32 UNC thread and measures 13/16 inches in overall length. The shouldered body features a 3/8-inch shoulder diameter and a 1/8-inch shoulder length, which helps locate and retain the fastener accurately in mating hardware. The knurled head is 7/16 inches in diameter and 3/16 inches tall, providing a secure grip surface. Technicians and assemblers working in electrical enclosures, control panels, and light mechanical assemblies commonly use this type of fastener for access panels and covers that require repeated removal.

This thumb screw is suited for light-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial applications where hand-operated hardware is preferred over hex or Phillips fasteners. Typical install scenarios include electrical panel covers, instrument enclosures, HVAC control cabinet access doors, and similar assemblies requiring frequent service access. The shoulder design allows it to float or position in a clearance hole before thread engagement, which is useful in alignment-sensitive assemblies. Sold individually; minimum order quantity is 10 units.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard thumb screw for applications requiring an 8-32 UNC thread, shouldered knurled-head fastener in brass with nickel finish.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require tools under normal hand-tightening conditions; use of a driver should be avoided to prevent stripping the knurled head. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the fastener. In panel or enclosure work, de-energize all circuits before removing or installing access hardware per applicable NEC guidelines. Do not exceed the design hand-torque load, as brass fasteners can be damaged by over-tightening with tools.
