🔩 Product Overview: Nylon Phillips Machine Screws – White / Black, M2 to M6 (Plastic Screw Bolts)
When you need a fastener that is non‑conductive, lightweight, and won’t corrode, these nylon Phillips round pan head machine screws are the perfect solution. Made from durable engineering plastic (PA66), they offer excellent electrical insulation, chemical resistance, and a smooth, snag‑free finish. Available in white or black to match your project aesthetic. The Phillips drive works with standard bits for easy installation, and the round pan head provides a low‑profile bearing surface. Offered in metric sizes M2, M2.5, M3, M4, M5, and M6 – fully threaded with standard coarse pitch. Ideal for electronics enclosures, PCB mounting, marine equipment, medical devices, and any application where metal screws would cause shorts, rust, or unwanted weight.
✨ Why Choose Nylon Plastic Phillips Screws
-
Non‑conductive & electrically insulating – Nylon (PA66) prevents short circuits in electronics, battery compartments, and high‑voltage equipment.
-
Corrosion proof & chemical resistant – Will not rust, rot, or degrade in humid or salty environments. Resists many acids, alkalis, and solvents.
-
Lightweight construction – Significantly lighter than metal screws, reducing overall assembly weight – ideal for portable devices and drones.
-
Choice of white or black color – Blend with light or dark enclosures, or use color‑coded for easy identification.
-
Phillips round pan head design – Low‑profile dome with a flat underside. Distributes clamping force evenly and looks clean on finished assemblies.
-
Wide metric range: M2, M2.5, M3, M4, M5, M6 – Covers the most common small‑to‑medium diameters for electronics, appliances, furniture, and light machinery.
-
Fully threaded, coarse metric pitch – Standard threads run the entire length for maximum grip in thin materials.
-
Safe and non‑toxic – Nylon is food‑contact safe in many applications and free from harmful metals.

❓ FAQs – Nylon Phillips Machine Screws
🔸 Are these screws electrically insulating?
Yes – nylon is an excellent electrical insulator. These screws are non‑conductive, making them ideal for securing circuit boards, battery terminals, and components in sensitive electronics where metal screws could cause shorts.
🔸 Will nylon screws degrade in sunlight or outdoor use?
Standard PA66 nylon is UV‑sensitive and can become brittle with prolonged direct sunlight. For outdoor use, try to keep them shaded or painted. For extreme UV exposure, consider UV‑stabilized nylon (available by request).
🔸 How strong are nylon screws compared to metal?
Nylon screws are strong for plastic fasteners but not as strong as steel. Use them for non‑critical fastening: PCB mounting, battery covers, plastic enclosures, light machinery, and marine electronics. For load‑bearing or high‑torque applications, metal fasteners are recommended.
🔸 Can I use these screws with nuts, or are they self‑tapping?
These are standard machine screws – they require a matching metric nut (M2–M6) or a pre‑tapped hole. They are not self‑tapping. For best results, use nylon nuts (recommended) or stainless steel nuts.
🔸 What Phillips screwdriver size should I use?
M2–M2.5: use PH0 or PH00. M3–M4: use PH1. M5–M6: use PH2. Nylon is softer than metal, so don't overtighten – use light torque to avoid stripping the recess.
🔸 What lengths are available for each diameter?
Lengths vary by diameter – typical ranges: M2: 3–12mm, M2.5: 4–16mm, M3: 5–30mm, M4: 6–40mm, M5: 8–50mm, M6: 10–60mm. Please select your desired length from the dropdown options. If you need a length not listed, contact us.
