Electro Hardware THS3044M01F07 Brass Thumb Screw 10-32

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE THS3044M01F07 is a knurled-head brass thumb screw designed for hand-tightened fastening applications where tools are not practical or accessible. Threaded 10-32 UNC with a 1/2-inch thread length and an overall length of 11/16 inches, this thumb screw suits panel assemblies, enclosures, and equipment covers that require frequent removal. The nickel finish over Grade 1 brass provides corrosion resistance in light-duty service environments. The knurled head measures 7/16 inches in diameter and 3/16 inches in height, giving adequate grip surface without shoulder interference.

This thumb screw is suited for light-duty mechanical and electrical panel applications where hand-adjustable fasteners are specified. Common install scenarios include control enclosures, instrument panels, junction box covers, and HVAC equipment access panels. The 10-32 UNC thread pattern is widely used in electrical and electronic enclosure hardware. It is typically installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assemblers working with standard inch-measurement fastener patterns.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with standard inch-pattern hardware
• Knurled head design allows secure hand tightening without tools
• Grade 1 brass construction with nickel finish for corrosion resistance
• No-shoulder design for flush or standard panel mounting
• 1/2-inch thread engagement length suits typical panel thicknesses
• Meets QQ-B-626B Comp 22 and QQ-N-290A standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNC knurled thumb screw for use in electrical enclosures, instrument panels, and equipment access covers requiring hand-tightened inch-series fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools under normal hand-tightening service. Ensure the mating threaded insert or nut plate is clean and free of debris before threading in. De-energize any panel or enclosure before removing or replacing access-cover fasteners. Do not overtighten by applying tools to the knurled head, as brass threads may strip under excessive torque.
