Product Description
The SOUTHCO 58-26-309-24 is a high-performance Captive Panel Screw from the 58 Series. This fastener is specifically designed for high-density electronic packaging and telecommunications applications where space is limited and hardware retention is required.
Constructed with a low-profile head and a press-in installation style, this captive screw remains permanently attached to the panel even when disengaged. This eliminates the risk of loose hardware falling into sensitive circuitry or being lost during maintenance.
Low-Profile Design: The compact head height is ideal for applications with tight vertical clearances, such as 1U server racks or thin-blade electronics.
Press-In Installation: Designed for permanent installation into drilled or punched holes, providing a secure fit that resists pull-out forces.
Dual-Access Drive: Features a knurled head for rapid finger adjustment and a slotted/Phillips recess for final tightening with standard tools.
Corrosion Protection: The bright chromate zinc finish ensures long-term durability and resistance to oxidation in indoor environments.
Common Uses: Frequently utilized in networking equipment, server faceplates, power supply modules, and medical diagnostic hardware.
