Southco’s Extended Length Captive Screw Offers New Standard Solution for Panel Applications

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 10 November
2020 – Southco Asia Ltd., a subsidiary
of Southco Inc., a leading global provider of engineered access solutions such
as locks, latches, captive fasteners, electronic access solutions and hinges/
positioning technology,  has expanded its extensive line of captive
screws with a new option covering the majority of panel applications. Southco’s
4C Extended Length Captive Screw provides a standard solution for sheet metal
and panel applications requiring different screw lengths, reducing lead time
and simplifying designs that would have previously required modified screw
lengths.

4C Extended Length Captive Screw

Designed
as a precise solution for panels, mounting doors and other hardware
applications, Southco’s 4C Extended Length Captive Screw is available in a
variety of tool actuation and installation styles, including press-in and
flare-in. The captive screws feature heat-treated steel for superior torque
strength, while color-coded overmolded head options allow designers to
differentiate access points or coordinate hardware with the overall design scheme.

“Previously,
non-standard panel applications required modified screw lengths with lengthy
lead times and costly design processes,” said Global Product Manager Ike Teng.
“The 4C Extended Length Captive Screw ensures that designers have easy access
to a standard solution for non-standard panel designs and sheet metal
thicknesses.”
