Screw head insulation - Electrical insulation and mechanical stability
When pinning and screwing components together in industrial applications, it is often necessary to ensure reliable electrical insulation without compromising the mechanical stability of the connection. While ceramic dowel pins ensure positive locking and steel screws ensure the positional connection of the assemblies, thermoset screw head insulators take on the task of electrical isolation.
In contrast to thermoplastic variants, thermoset screw head insulations offer significantly higher compressive strength and do not deform under load. These properties enable a durable, secure and low-maintenance connection in environments where electrical insulation and mechanical strength are required at the same time.
