EXTERNALLY THREADED FASTENING SYSTEMS
PLASTITE®45°
These thread forming screws combine a unique tri-lobular body with a 45° thread profile to maximize performance and reliability in thermoplastics.
The Plastite® 48 screw combines a unique tri-lobular body with a 48° thread profile to maximize performance and reliability. Two thread-forming styles are available to meet the specific requirements of a wide range of thermoplastics.
The Plastite® 45 screw is designed to facilitate thread-forming in less-compressible plastics while providing high resistance to strip-out and pull-out. It has smaller root and major diameters than a 45° Plastite®, so it can be used in smaller bosses.

- Features
Tri-roundular configuration that allows displaced material to cold flow back into releif areas.
45° profile allows thread to penetrate deeply into plastic material
Single lead design and narrow helix angle lowers drive torque and failure torque in stiffer plastics - Benefits
Reduces possibility of boss failure
Increases product reliability
Eliminates need for inserts and lock washers
Minimizes radial stress
Allows design of thinner bosses
Generates strong mating threads
Resists vibration loostening
Reduces probability of strip-out and pull-out
Achieves wide differentials between drive and fail torque
Creates less stress on the boss - Design Guideliness
Sizes: #2 – 3/8″; other sizes may be available upon request
Head Styles: Can be used with any external or internal head designs; pan, hex washer, and flat styles standard
Drive System: Can use any system, including TORX PLUS® Drive
Finish: As required
