Increased thread cross section under head

CA style point - Available in dull or sharp configuration

Undercut under head


THE SOLUTION FOR THIN SHEET METAL APPLICATIONS

Over the last several years, the industry has improved assembly processes and reduced the size and weight of components made from thin sheet metal and fasteners used to join these components. As a result, 0.5mm thick sheet metal is not an uncommon thickness for a typical assembly. Yet today's assembly solutions are limited and often poorly designed for joint performance and overall cost efficiency.

FASTITE® 2000™ thread-forming screws were developed to create strong mechanical joints with excellent thread engagement into untapped thin sheets while providing the "LOWER IN-PLACE COST SAVINGS" associated with TRILOBULAR™ thread-forming screws. FASTITE® 2000™ screws result in a cost-effective joint with increased failure torque and resistance to stripping when compared to other fastener types and assemblies.

  1. Tapered thread root adjacent to the screw head to maintain major thread diameter close to the head.
  2. Undercut feature to increase assembly failure torque.
  3. Radius Profile™ thread design combined with the twin-lead helix angle provides a mating thread system that engages diametrically opposed threads.
  4. There is no cut-off "CA" style point for extruding in small holes.
  5. TRILOBULAR™ screw thread body to provide "resistance to loosening."

Standard Type AB Screw

Standard-type AB screws lean over as the screw tends to align with the helix angle of the thread. Stripped threads or loose assemblies result.

Fastite 2000 fastener

FASTITE 2000™ fastener starts and finishes straight, providing a secure, tight assembly. The twin-lead thread centers the fastener in the hole.
