	Captive Nuts		Captive nuts are internally-threaded, captive fasteners designed for quick-connecting with studs. They are good for blind locations and can usually be attached without damaging panel finishes. They are often used in electronic and industrial enclosure applications.
	Pallet Nuts		Pallet nuts are also known as "tee nuts" or "knock-in nuts." Pallet nuts are usually made from metal or plastic and have a large flange with teeth that get hammered into place by the user. The teeth dig into pallet material, holding the joint fast.
	Weld Nuts		Weld nuts are captive fasteners designed for welding to flat surfaces for permanent retention within an assembly. Weld nuts have threaded holes through the base and come in several types.
	Captive Pins		Captive pins are often used in electronic circuit board applications, where they are pushed like a rivet into their target panel hole. They feature strong, self-clinching heads that deform softer mating materials. These heads resist torque and assembly push-out forces, and may also rest flushly against a panel or board.
	Captive Screws		Captive screws are fasteners designed for ease of installation, often knurled for finger use and retained within their functional environment when not engaged. Captive screw (or bolt) retention prevents loss or damage within the captive screw's parent assembly, or damage to components in the nearby working environment.
	Captive Standoffs		Captive standards are internally-threaded fasteners designed to secure, support, or provide spacing for circuit boards and similar assemblies upon use of a mating screw.
	Captive Studs		Captive studs are externally-threaded fasteners designed for permanent assembly integration. They are sometimes used to provide retention for outer-surface metal housing attachments to body structures.
	Other		Other, unlisted or proprietary captive fastener classes / types.

Material / Finish


	Metallic
	Your choices are...
	Aluminum		Aluminum is a bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile, light, trivalent, metallic element that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation. Aluminum is lighter than steel, but not as strong.
	Brass		Brass provides good strength, excellent high-temperature ductility, reasonable cold ductility, good conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, good bearing properties, and low magnetic permeability.
	Bronze / Copper Base Alloy		Bronze is a copper base alloy composed of copper as the main alloying metal and one or more other metals, such as tin, zinc, or phosphorus. Silicon bronze is one typical fastener alloy.
	Copper		Copper is a common, reddish, metallic element that is both ductile and malleable. Copper is one of the best conductors of heat and electricity. It also exhibits good corrosion resistance.
	Exotic Metals		Exotic metals and alloys have specialized properties. This category includes materials such as Hastelloy®, Monel®, beryllium copper, beryllium nickel, niobium, tantalum, titanium, and zirconium.
	Molybdenum		Molybdenum is a chemical element with the symbol Mo and an atomic number of 42. Molybdenum has the sixth highest melting point of any element and is commonly used in high-strength steel alloys.
	Steel		Steel is a commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. Many grades of carbon and alloy steels are used as fastener materials. Steel may require coating for protection against corrosion.
	Hardened Steel		Steel can be hardened in a number of ways. Methods include quenching techniques in oil and water, and passing the steel through induction chambers. During processing, the rapid cooling of steel freezes, traps, and packs the carbon atoms inside the shrunken iron crystals. The resulting steel is very hard and brittle. Hardened steel is strong, but cannot absorb much shock or impact without breaking.
	Stainless Steel		Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion-resistant and can have relatively high stress ratings. Many grades are used in fasteners. Often, stainless steel does not require an anti-corrosion coating; however, most stainless steels cannot be hardened to the same degree as carbon steels.
	Superalloy		Superalloys are high-performance alloys that exhibit the following features: mechanical strength, good surface stability, resistance to corrosion and oxidation, and resistance to creep at high temperatures. Common superalloys include Hastelloy®, Inconel®, Incoloy®, and Monel®. The attributes of Hastelloy® alloys include high resistance to uniform attack and localized corrosion resistance. It also provides stress corrosion cracking resistance, and ease of welding and fabrication. Hastelloy is a registered trademark of Haynes International, Inc. Inconel® and Incoloy® (Special Metals Corporation) provide good strength and excellent resistance to oxidation and carbonization in high temperatures environments, and in many aqueous environments. These proprietary materials are used in process piping, heat exchangers, heating element sheathing and nuclear steam generator tubing. Typically, Inconel and Incoloy are used at service temperatures below 650° C (1200° F). Monel® (Special Metals Corporation) is a proprietary, high-strength alloy that offers resistance to a range of corrosive media, including seawater, hydrofluoric and sulfuric acids, and alkalis.
	Titanium		Titanium is a hard, lustrous, silvery element that is relatively abundant in the Earth's crust. It is valued for its lightness, strength, and corrosion resistance. Titanium is used widely in the aerospace industry and in medical products such as replacement joints. When alloyed with other metals, especially steel, titanium adds strength and oxidation resistance.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary metallic materials.

	Nylon		Nylon is a tough, resistant, general-purpose material. It comprises several grades of polyamides and has good pressure ratings. Nylon 6/6 is commonly used with fasteners.
	PVC		Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a widely used material that has good flexibility, a smooth surface, and nontoxic qualities. Some grades are used in food and chemical processes because of PVC’s inert nature and good resistance to chemicals such as acids and alcohols. PVC brand names include ACP® and Dural® (Alpha Gary), Geon® (Geon), Benvic® (Solvay), and Flexalloy® (Teknor Apex).
	PVDF		Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a melt-processable fluoropolymer. PVDF has similar properties to other fluoropolymers, but provides better strength and lower creep. PVDF also offers good wear resistance and excellent chemical resistance; however, it does not perform well at elevated temperatures. Brand names include Kynar® (Elf AtoChem).
	PTFE		Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an insoluble compound that exhibits a high degree of chemical resistance and a low coefficient of friction. It is sometimes marketed in proprietary classes of materials such as Teflon®, a registered trademark of DuPont Dow Elastomers.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary non-metallic materials.

	Finish
	Your choices are...
	Anodize		Anodizing is a process for finishing aluminum alloys that uses the electrolytic oxidation of the aluminum surface to produce a protective oxide coating. The anodic coating consists of hydrated aluminum oxide and is resistant to corrosion and abrasion. Conventional coatings are 0.1 to 1.0 mils thick and are mostly transparent, but may be colored. Anodizing preserves the natural luster and texture of the metal. Anodized coatings are hard, durable, will never peel, and, under normal conditions, will never wear through. Standard and decorative colors are available. This category includes hard-coat anodizing.
	Black Oxide		Black oxide is a conversion coating that causes virtually no dimensional change. It is a uniform, continuous conversion of the existing metal to a black form of rust. Black oxide is used on components where tight tolerances are needed. It is used mostly as a decorative coating.
	Chrome		Chrome finish is an electroplated coating that is applied for purposes of lubricity, wear resistance, and decoration. Chrome provides a bright and highly reflective finish.
	Galvanized		Galvanizing immerses clean, oxide-free iron or steel into molten zinc in order to apply a zinc coating that is metallurgically bonded to the iron or steel surface. The zinc coating protects the surface against corrosion in two ways. First, it shields the base metal from the atmosphere. Second, because zinc is more electronegative than iron or steel, the coating reacts with corroding agents, providing a longer service life for the part.
	Gold		Gold plating provides total resistance to oxidation and corrosion. It is electrically conductive and can be alloyed with cobalt to produce a wear-resistant finish.
	Nickel Plated		Nickel plating is a common form of electrolytic deposition.
	Phosphate		Phosphate coatings are applied via the chemical or electrochemical treatment of a metal’s surface. These corrosion-resistant coatings provide a surface for the improved adhesion of primers and paints.
	Silver		Silver is the most electrically conductive plating finish. It is used in electronic fasteners for electrical conductivity and signal transmittance. Silver oxidizes rapidly, but resists corrosion.
	Tin		Tin plating is applied to electronic fasteners that are made of brass.
	Zinc Plated		Zinc plating is a common form of plating that provides corrosion resistance.
	Zinc Chromate (Yellow)		Fasteners have a yellow zinc chromate finish.
	Other		Other unlisted finish.

Features


	Features
	Your choices are...
	Blind		Captive fastener allows joining in situations where the user only has access to one side of the target panel.
	Broaching		Captive fastener - nut, screw or stud - accomplishes joining through a material removal process at time of installation. An example of a broaching captive fastener is a printed circuit board (PCB) captive nut that has knurled cutting-shanks. The nut is pressed into a drilled hole, and accomplishes fastening via interference fit.
	Floating		The fastener is designed to compensate for mating misalignments.
	Fluid-Tight Seal		Fastener includes an under head o-ring or similar technology to prevent liquids or gases from ingress or egress after tightening.
	Flush-Mount		A flush-mount captive screw has a head that sits flatly against a mating panel's surface, providing a low-profile assembly, often for constrained-space or aesthetic reasons.
	Jacking (Retractable)		A "Jacking" Captive Screw is a high-strength captive fastener designed for both panel retention and to perform a jacking / spring-ejected action upon panel removal. This combination of features facilitates disassembly.
	Knobbed		Captive fastener has an external star-pattern ("star-knob") that allows the user a firm grasp with multiple fingers or by the cup of the hand. This allows for a more effective torquing action, and less user exertion.
	Knurled		Either a series of straight ridges, a diamond criss-cross pattern, or a similar friction-increasing pattern is applied to the captive fastener's thumb-screw or thumb-nut surface. The increased friction facilitates finger torquing, and sometimes is also meant to improve the fastener's visual appearance.
	Quarter-Turn		A 90-degree turn of the screw quickly secures or releases access panels, enclosure doors, and equipment coverings.
	Self-Clinching		Captive fastener has an integrated mechanism (non-broaching) for deforming material and permanently locking into place. Example uses include sheet metal integration and printed circuit board (PCB) fastening.
	Winged		Captive fastener has two protruding wings or ears that facilitate finger / thumb or hand torquing without the use of an additional tool.
	Sold as Assembly		Captive screw, nut or stud is sold with an included lock washer, retainer, or other loose, non-integral hardware.

Fastener Standards


	Fastener Standards
	Your choices are...
	AIA / NAS		Dimensional and material standards for aircraft fasteners are developed by the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) and/or its National Aerospace Standards Committee (NASC). All drawings and specifications have a NAS or NASM prefix. NAS is an acronym for National Aerospace Standards. NASM is an acronym for National Aerospace Standards, Metric.
	AN / MS		Dimensional standards for aircraft fasteners are developed by the Aeronautical Standards Group. All drawings have a prefix of AN or MS. Products are suitable for army, navy, or air force use.
	ASME / ANSI		The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B18 standard specifies all ASME B18 fastener products with a single 18-digit PIN code system. Approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and adopted by the U.S. Department of Defense, the ASME B18.24 PIN system is a self-contained code that covers 788 unique B18 fastener types from 72 ASME B18 source documents. The PIN code system is fully parametric, uniform across all fastener types, and is intended as a digital alternative to the traditional plain text fastener product callout prescribed in the "Designation" or "Ordering" section of the applicable source document.
	BS		Dimensional and material standards developed by the British Standards Institution. Standards are designated with a BS prefix. The British Standards International (BSI) Kitemark indicates that products are tested regularly against the requirements of an appropriate BSI standard, and that the manufacturer's quality system is assessed at least twice a year to ensure continued quality production.
	DIN		DIN is an acronym for Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), a German national organization for standardization. Most metric fasteners are manufactured according to DIN standards. Although DIN predates the International Standards Organizations (ISO), DIN standards are being revised to more closely match ISO standards. Ordering DIN fasteners requires three pieces of information: the DIN identifier, which defines the style of the fastener; the material (e.g., 8.8 Steel, 316 Stainless, Hastelloy C276); and the coating or plating (if any).
	ISO		The International Standards Organization (ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards organizations from over 100 countries. ISO's mission is to facilitate the international exchange of goods and services, and to foster cooperation in the spheres of intellectual, technological, and economic activity. ISO standards for metric fasteners are gaining recognition rapidly. They will probably become global standards.
	JIS		Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) is largely based on DIN; however, some standards have been modified to meet the needs of the Japanese market. Most of the fasteners used in electronic equipment manufactured in Japan comply with the JIS standard.
	SAE		Fasteners meet standards developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), a worldwide organization that establishes industry standards for the testing, measurement, and design of automobiles and their components.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary fastener standards.
