Nylon Pan Head Phillips Screws — Lightweight, Insulating & Chemical-Resistant Metric Fasteners
When metal screws introduce unwanted conductivity, corrosion risk, or excess weight into your build, nylon fasteners are the practical fix. Whether you're assembling electronics enclosures, PCB standoffs, RC components, or plastic housings, these PA66 nylon pan head screws deliver reliable clamping force without the drawbacks of metal — no rust, no conductivity, no galvanic corrosion.
Each screw features a pan head profile with a Phillips (cross) drive slot, manufactured to DIN 7985 standards. Thread sizes span M2 through M8, with lengths ranging from 4 mm (~0.16 in) up to 60 mm (~2.36 in) depending on the size. Available in White and Black, with quantity options from 5 pcs up to 500 pcs per order to suit both prototyping and production runs.
Typical use cases include electronics and robotics assembly (M2–M3), plastic panel and enclosure fastening (M3–M5), aquarium and wet-environment fixtures (M4–M6), and lightweight structural connections where metal would add unnecessary mass (M5–M8). The coarse right-hand thread ensures compatibility with standard metric nuts across all sizes.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are available for these nylon pan head screws?
These screws are available in metric thread sizes M2, M2.5, M3, M4, M5, M6, and M8, with lengths typically ranging from 4 mm to 60 mm depending on the thread size. Select your size and quantity from the variant options above.
Are these screws electrically insulating?
Yes. Made from PA66 nylon, these screws are non-conductive and non-magnetic, making them suitable for electronics, PCB assemblies, and electrical enclosures where metal fasteners would create short-circuit risks.
How is the length measured?
Length is measured from under the head to the tip of the screw, following standard DIN 7985 convention. For example, an M3×10 screw has 10 mm of threaded shank below the head.
What type of screwdriver do I need?
A standard Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver is required. The drive size generally corresponds to the screw thread — typically PH0 for M2–M2.5, PH1 for M3–M4, and PH2 for M5–M8.
Are these screws corrosion-resistant?
Yes. PA66 nylon is inherently resistant to many chemicals and does not rust or corrode, making it ideal for humid environments, aquariums, outdoor enclosures, and chemically exposed applications.
What nuts should I use with these screws?
Use standard metric nuts matching the thread size (e.g., M3 nut for M3 screw). Coarse right-hand thread is used throughout the range. Both nylon and stainless steel nuts are compatible.
What is the maximum temperature these screws can handle?
PA66 nylon generally withstands continuous temperatures up to approximately 100–120°C (212–248°F). For higher-temperature applications, please contact us to discuss alternative materials.
