The head is where the height budget is won or lost. The large head spreads clamp force over a wider bearing area so thin plastic and thin sheet are not dented, and once the diameter grows the head has to stay low to avoid interference. A cross recess is shallower than a star recess, which suits a 0.6 mm head but transmits less torque.
Material: SWRCH18A / SUS302HQ. It is installed by electric or hand driver.
Set head diameter from the bearing area the part needs, then pick the recess from the torque limit; if more torque is needed, thicken the head instead of deepening the cross recess.
| Material | SWRCH18A / SUS302HQ |
|---|---|
| Thread Tolerance | 6g |
| Standard | GB/T 3098.1 (mechanical properties), GB/T 197 (thread tolerance) |
| Installation | electric or hand driver |
| Typical substrate | phones, wearables, miniature modules |
| Key inspections | head thickness, head diameter, thread gauging |
Sampling follows GB/T 90.1. Threads are gauged 6g, head diameter and thickness are measured optically, and carburised parts are checked for case depth and surface hardness.We recommend a pilot assembly at the actual torque and mating part before locking the process parameters for volume.
