Nylon Flat Washers Round Flat Plastic Insulating Gaskets Spacers Metric Plain Finish Fastener PA66

Description

Nylon flat washers or spacers are commonly used in electronics. Nylon fasteners offer several advantages. These include a high amount of insulation and resistance to corrosion. Compared to aluminum, another material heavily used in electronics, nylon is lighter, stronger and offers high wear resistance. A washer is a thin plate (typically disk-shaped) with a hole (typically in the middle) that is normally used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener, such as a screw or nut. Other uses are as a spacer, spring (Belleville washer, wave washer), wear pad, preload indicating device, locking device, and to reduce vibration (rubber washer). Washers usually have an outer diameter (OD) about twice larger than their inner diameter (ID). Ever Hardware provides precision nylon flat washers and customizable packaging.

Nylon can also be customized to suit product design. You can find nylon hardware in various finishes ranging from lustrous to dull finishes.
Many manufacturers prefer to use nylon hardware because they do not burn. Instead, they melt, making them ideal for the production of fire-resistant items. Flame retardants may be added to the manufacturing of these fasteners. Other manufacturers use these for products that have outdoor applications because they can resist fading caused by exposure to sunlight and can resist corrosion caused by a few chemicals.
Nylon hardware may be manufactured using a variety of plastics. For example, acetal may be used to bolster durability while minimizing water absorption. Polyvinyl chloride or PVC is used to enhance the hardware’s ability to resist the elements. Polypropylene, on the other hand, helps increase both durability and strength. This type of nylon fastener is often used in electronics, telecommunications, computers, and cars.
Other manufacturers use fiberglass in the production of nylon to further enhance the material’s performance.
But despite the versatility and other appealing qualities of nylon hardware, due caution must be dispensed when using them for some applications. What applications are these?
