Nylon Hex Nuts Metric Hexagonal Plastic Off-White Right Hand Thread Fastener Plastic M2-M10

Description

Nylon hex nuts 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. Hex nuts are six-sided general purpose fasteners with internal screw threads. For similar reasons as the bolt head – 6 sides give a good granularity of angles for a tool to approach from (good in tight spots), but more (and smaller) corners would be vulnerable to being rounded off. It takes only 1/6th of a rotation to obtain the next side of the hexagon and grip is optimal. However, polygons with more than 6 sides do not give the requisite grip and polygons with fewer than 6 sides take more time to be given a complete rotation. Ever Hardware provides precision nylon hex nuts 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?
