Table of Contents
A captive panel screw is a specially designed screw that stays attached to a panel or chassis even after being loosened.
This screw operates on a straightforward principle: its unique head design locks it in place once threaded into a panel or chassis, ensuring it doesn't come loose unintentionally. This design not only secures the screw firmly but also allows for its easy attachment and removal with the use of specific tools.
Such screws are essential in applications requiring regular access to the internals of electronic devices, industrial machinery, and vehicles, where panels or chassis need to be frequently removed and reattached. Key components include the screw head with its locking mechanism and the tool designed for its manipulation. Their design features ensure screws remain in place without taking up extra space, facilitating easy maintenance while preventing loss or damage.
