Strong, Non-conductive, Impact Resistant Screws

Posted on January 17, 2024 by Kathleen

Q: We are looking for screws to hold down electronic circuit boards. Unfortunately the mounting provisions need to be electrically isolated from the mounts. In addition,  we need strength, non-conductivity, and impact resistance, even at cold temperatures (-40C). A:  A great material to consider would be PEEK screws or PEEK with Glass Fiber reinforcement.  These … Continue reading →
