Captive Screws

Captive screws are specialized fasteners designed to remain attached to a component even when fully disengaged. Typically used in electronic and mechanical assemblies, these screws feature an integrated shoulder or collar that prevents them from completely detaching. This design ensures convenient and efficient maintenance, preventing loss or misplacement of screws during disassembly. Captive screws find applications in industries requiring frequent access to internal components, such as electronics, aerospace, and medical devices. The captive feature enhances ease of assembly, reduces the risk of foreign object debris, and simplifies the overall handling of hardware in intricate systems.
