Metal Self Tapping Lock Washers

Self-drilling and self-piercing screws are a type of fastener that combines drilling and fastening operations in a single action, removing the requirement for pre-drilling. They have a pointed head that allows the screw to self-tap into a panel. This reduces the amount of time and physical work necessary for fixing.

Easily driven into the surface with a power drill or screwdriver and provides a strong and secure hold. Ideal for use in applications where a high degree of strength and stability is required, such as in metalworking or construction.

Our range of Standoffs, which are commonly referred to as Hex Spacers or Standoff Pillars, are quick and easy to install thanks to their screw-in design. Our standoffs are available in both a non-undercut and undercut version. Non-undercut spacers offer greater stability, but require a washer for installation. Whereas undercut spacers are much quicker to install, and allow spacers to be stacked and do not require the use of a washer - making them a econonical solution. Our spacer range is also available in self-tapping types for mating with non-threaded fittings.

Our standoff spacers offering includes undercut male to female standoff made from either, nickel-plated brass, zinc-plated steel, aluminium or stainless steel, which are self-tapping. Female to female hex spacers made from brass, stainless steel, nickel-plated brass or zinc-plated steel. A self-tapping male to female hexagonal spacer made from nickel-plated hardened steel that's brass coloured. We also offer a round natural Nylon 6/6 push spacer.

Our Locking Washers are made from metal, with either a stainless steel or zinc plated finish. These External Tooth Lock Washers have been developed for locking screws, bolts and nuts in place, and offer ideal prevention for the loosening of PCB spacers caused by vibrations.The Tooth Lock Washer, also known as an Electrical Contact Washer, has tooth-like serrations on the external diameter that help the toothed washer prevent bolted joints from loosening, through the use of friction.Our stainless steel toothed washers offer good corrosion and wear resistance. The zinc plated external tooth washer option, is ideal for applications where a high mechanical strength is needed. The lower material cost makes it an alternative to brass, when conductivity is not a critical issue. Zinc plating provides a professional finish and is RoHS compliant.
