Fillister Head

A fillister head machine screw is a type of fastener used to join two or more objects together. It is designed for use with a threaded hole or nut and typically has a cylindrical shaft with external threads. The key feature of a fillister head screw is its distinctive head, which is raised and has a slightly rounded top with a deep, straight-walled slot or recess. The fillister head is designed to provide a larger bearing surface than some other types of screws, which can be advantageous in certain applications. It helps distribute the load or clamping force more evenly, reducing the risk of the screw damaging the material it's fastened to. This makes fillister head screws suitable for applications where a flush or countersunk head is not desired, and where a more robust head design is needed. Fillister head machine screws come in various materials, sizes, and thread pitches to suit different applications. They are commonly used in machinery, electronics, and other industrial settings where secure fastening is essential.
