PA66 GF30 Hex Socket Screw

PA66 GF30 Hex Socket Screw Product Drawing

PA66 GF30 Hex Socket Screw (30% Glass Fiber Reinforced PA66 Socket Screw) is a high-performance polymer fastener. It combines the benefits of the PA66 nylon base material with the enhanced high-strength properties brought by 30% Glass Fiber (GF30) reinforcement. The use of a Hex Socket (Allen Key/Hex Key) drive design allows it to withstand higher torque in constrained spaces.

Key Features

The key properties of the PA66 GF30 Hex Socket Screw make it a superior choice among metal replacement solutions:

Mechanical Performance Leap (High Strength): The glass fiber reinforcement significantly boosts the bolt’s strength (PA66 GF30 High Strength Screw) and stiffness, approaching or even exceeding that of some low-carbon steels. This markedly improves the bolt’s load-bearing capacity and resistance to deformation.

High Torque Adaptability: The Hex Socket drive design allows for greater torque application during installation while avoiding the external space occupied by hex head bolts. Simultaneously, the glass fiber reinforced material enhances the screw head’s resistance to stripping.

Thermal and Dimensional Stability: The material’s heat deflection temperature and continuous service temperature are significantly improved (relevant to searches for PA66 GF30  / PA66 GF30 High Temperature Bolt). The glass fiber effectively suppresses the inherent moisture absorption and thermal expansion of nylon, ensuring the component’s dimensional stability (PA66 GF30 Dimensional Stability) and creep resistance (PA66 GF30 Creep Resistance).

Inherited Base Advantages: It retains the excellent electrical insulation of PA66 ( Hex Socket Insulation Screw), chemical corrosion resistance (PA66 GF30 / PA66 GF30 Oil Chemical Resistance), and significant lightweight advantages.

Key Polyamide Nylon (PA6) Properties

Comprehensive Analysis of Pros and Cons

• ✅ Advantages (Pros)

  • High Strength and Load Capacity: Glass fiber reinforcement significantly boosts the screw’s load-bearing capacity and fatigue resistance, making it suitable for semi-structural applications.
  • Space Efficiency: The Hex Socket drive head design is compact, suitable for installation in narrow or flush-mounting environments.
  • Multifunctionality: Combines lightweight, insulation, corrosion resistance, and high strength.
  • Torque Performance: Can withstand a higher installation torque compared to unreinforced nylon screws.

   

  ❌ Disadvantages (Cons)

  • Increased Brittleness: The addition of glass fiber comes at the expense of toughness, leading to reduced impact resistance and elongation, making the screw more prone to becoming brittle (PA66 GF30 Bolt brittleness / PA66 GF30 Screw Brittleness).
  • Abrasion Risk: Glass fibers are abrasive, which may cause thread wear (PA66 GF30 Thread wear / PA66 GF30 Thread Wear) on the mating thread holes (especially those made of plastic or soft metal).
  • Higher Cost: GF30 material and the injection molding process are typically more expensive than standard PA66 or metal fasteners.
  • Moisture Impact: Despite improvements, moisture absorption (PA66 GF30 Moisture absorption effect / PA66 GF30 Moisture Absorption) still needs consideration, as it can affect long-term dimensional stability in humid environments.

Applications

The application of PA66 GF30 Hex Socket Screws is concentrated in areas demanding high strength, compact design, and adaptation to special environments:

• Automotive and New Energy (EV): Widely used for the connection and fixation of under-the-hood components, high-voltage electrical systems (PA66 GF30 Automotive plastic fasteners / PA66 GF30 Automotive Fasteners, PA66 GF30 EV Fasteners). The Hex Socket design saves space in battery packs and compact thermal management modules.
• Electronics and Electrical Equipment: Utilized in high-power switches, precision connectors, and industrial control systems where high insulation is required alongside tolerance for certain mechanical stress.
• Industrial Machinery and Equipment: Used in chemical pumps, valves, and structural connections requiring oil resistance, chemical resistance, and long-term load bearing, serving as an option for PA66 GF30 Replacement metal screws (PA66 GF30 Metal Replacement Screw) (PA66 GF30 Industrial equipment bolts / PA66 GF30 Industrial Fasteners).

Packaging & Delivery

Standard packaging includes PE bag, foam cover, and one double-deck corrugated outer carton for safety during transit. Delivery time is 5-15 working days depending on the quantity.
