Standard and Customizable Electronic & Manufacturing Hardware Components

Jack Screws for Versatile Applications

Jack screws come in hex, slotted and knurled options. Jack screws have a variety of uses in panels, metal cabinets, computers, and a variety of other devices.

Standoffs and Spacers for Electronic Equipment

Standoffs are used in a wide range of electronic equipment products.  Typically, they are internally threaded separators that are round or hex-shaped and are used to separate and protect circuit boards and their components as well as used on panels and other electronic equipment. They feature two threaded ends with either a male threaded post or female threaded opening.  Spacers are cylindrical in shape and serve the same function as standoffs except they are unthreaded. Standard dimensions are available in stock in a wide range of materials including steel/zinc, brass, stainless steel, and nylon. We can also provide custom dimensions to meet your specific needs. 

Captivated Fasteners Used in Specialty Assembly

Captivated fasteners include captivated screws and captivated bolts. These fasteners are designed to thread into position to a point where the body is reduced and no longer engages with threads causing it to become “captivated”.  A captive fastener cannot be removed without re-engaging the threads which ensures the screw or bolt will not fall out or become lost. They are ideal for special assembly applications and are used in computers, panels, furniture, and a variety of applications.

Increased Efficiency with Sems Screws

Sems screws (short for “assembled screws”) come in all kinds of head styles and drive styles, as well as materials/finishes.  When produced, a single washer or multiple washers are placed under the head before the threading operation resulting in the captivation of the washers under the head.  Sems screws reduce the number of parts an assembler must handle and increases the efficiency of the assembly process.  Examples of sems screws are square cone, internal lock washer, external lock washer, and flat washer.

Terminal Block Screws: Connecting Multiple Wires with Ease

Terminal block screws are electrical fasteners used with screw terminal blocks, which allow the connection of multiple electrical wires.  The terminal block screws are used to hold the wires in place. The terminal blocks themselves are then installed in a wide variety of electrical assemblies and devices.

Solid Rivets Providing Sturdy Fastening

Solid rivets are durable fasteners featuring a shaft and a head and are designed to be permanent in the user’s application. Once inserted, the end of the shaft is deformed using a rivet gun, hammer, or compression tool to create a secure joining of two parts. Solid rivets are commonly used for a wide range of applications and are a good match for joining two items securely where disassembly is not needed or desired.

Thumb Studs for Assisted Open Knives

Thumb studs are fasteners that are screwed onto the blade of folding and spring assisted knives to allow for one-handed opening of the blade. They are stocked in limited sizes and can be produced to your particular specifications to meet your need. 

Versatile Threaded Inserts for Improved Thread Engagement

Threaded inserts are fasteners that are used to create and repair threaded holes in material to improve thread engagement.  They are designed for application in a range of materials including wood, metal and plastic and can also be used with thin materials. Different types of inserts include molded-in, self-tapping, thread repair, press-in and thermal. Inserts are available in straight, helical and diamond options, to best suit your application.

Hand-Tightened Thumb Screws

Thumb screws are used to fasten components where tightening and removing a fastener is performed by hand. They typically feature a knurled, rosette, or flattened head for easy gripping and are available in a range of lengths, diameters and materials.

Copper, Steel, Nickel and Aluminum Insulated Wire

Wire is used for electronic applications and is typically made of copper, steel, nickel or aluminum. The wire is coated with insulating material and is produced in multiple colors to allow for proper tracing and identification. Wire is available in various lengths with and without connectors. 

Springs: Flat, Coiled, Wave to Provide Resistance Force in Manufacturing

Springs are made of various materials and come in flat, coiled and wave shapes. Flat springs consist of flat strips of metal that are formed in a range of shapes and sizes. Coil springs are made from round wire that is wound into a cylindrical shape. Different types of coil springs include compression springs, extension springs and torsion springs. Wave springs are similar to coil springs but are more compact, and the wire has a waved pattern to cause resistance during compression.

Insulated and Non-Insulated Wire Terminals

Wire terminals are connectors that are used in electrical components to connect circuits and systems together. Examples of wire terminals include: ring terminals, spade terminals, push-to-connects, eyelets, butt splice connectors, terminal strips and bullet terminal connectors. They are made of conductive material and are available in insulated and non-insulated options.

Versatile Cable Ties & Cable Management for Organization

Cable ties and cable management systems are used to organize wiring and cabling for electrical, telecommunications, IT, and other applications. Cable ties (also known as zip ties) come in different colors, lengths and tensile strengths to accommodate applications ranging from organizing small bundles of computer cables to organizing heavy bundles of telecommunications cables. They are a highly versatile and cost-effective solution for any cabling or wiring application.
