Electro Hardware THS3008M04RF16 Aluminum Thumb Screw 6-32

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE THS3008M04RF16 is an aluminum thumb screw with a knurled head, designed for tool-free fastening in light-duty panel, enclosure, and equipment assembly applications. It features a 6-32 UNC thread with a 3/8-inch thread length and a 9/16-inch overall length. The knurled head provides grip for hand-tightening without requiring a driver. Finished uncoated, the aluminum construction keeps weight low while offering adequate strength for non-structural fastening tasks. This screw is commonly installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and equipment assemblers working on control panels, access covers, and removable subassemblies.

This thumb screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where frequent access to a panel or enclosure is required. The 6-32 UNC thread is a standard size found in electrical enclosures, instrument housings, and equipment covers across the HVAC, electrical, and electronics trades. The uncoated aluminum finish is appropriate for dry indoor environments. The knurled head allows repeated removal and reinstallation without tools, making it practical for service panels and access doors that require routine opening.

Installation Notes

De-energize and lock out any electrical enclosure or panel before replacing or installing fasteners. Hand-tighten only — aluminum threads can strip if over-torqued with tools. Verify thread engagement with the mating nut or tapped hole before applying load. Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or HVAC technicians in accordance with applicable NEC guidelines for enclosure access hardware.
