Electro Hardware THS3044M07F16 Thumb Screw 10-32

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE THS3044M07F16 is a 303 stainless steel thumb screw with a knurled head, designed for tool-free fastening in light-duty mechanical and electrical enclosure applications. The 10-32 UNC thread and 1/2-inch thread length make this screw suitable for thin-panel installations where hand-tightening is required. With a head diameter of 7/16 inches and a head height of 3/16 inches, it provides a positive grip surface without requiring a driver. The 303 stainless steel construction offers good corrosion resistance for indoor and light outdoor environments. The uncoated finish means no coating flaking in high-cycle access panels.

This thumb screw is commonly used in electrical enclosures, control panels, HVAC access panels, and instrumentation covers where frequent hand removal is needed. Technicians in HVAC, electrical, and industrial maintenance will find it useful wherever a captive or removable panel must be opened and closed repeatedly without tools. The 10-32 thread is a standard thread size compatible with commonly tapped sheet metal and machined panel applications. The overall length of 11/16 inches suits standard panel thicknesses found in residential and light commercial equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a flat-blade screwdriver if needed; no power tools are required. Always de-energize electrical panels and enclosures before removing or installing fasteners in live equipment. Verify the receiving panel or component is tapped to 10-32 UNC before installation to avoid thread damage. Inspect threads for contamination or damage prior to installation.
