Pan Head

A pan head machine screw is a type of fastener used for joining two or more objects together. It features a rounded, slightly cylindrical head with a flat or gently curved top and a full-threaded shank. The head of a pan head screw is designed to sit above the surface of the material it's fastening, rather than being countersunk or flush. Key characteristics of pan head machine screws include: Head Design: The pan head is rounded and has a low profile, which allows it to distribute clamping force more evenly across the surface, reducing the risk of damage to the material. Versatility: Pan head screws are versatile and find applications in a wide range of industries and projects, from electronics and machinery assembly to woodworking and general construction. Ease of Use: Their design allows for easy tightening with a screwdriver, wrench, or socket tool. Pan head machine screws come in various materials, sizes, and thread pitches to suit different applications and materials. They are commonly used in situations where a flush or countersunk screw head is not needed or desired, and where a low-profile rounded head provides better load distribution and aesthetics.
