Wing Screws
Wing screws feature two “wings” on the head, allowing them to be tightened and loosened by hand without tools. In professional fastening applications, wing screws are used wherever components need to be secured or released quickly without additional tools. The winged head makes it easy to adjust and remove connections on the fly.
Typical use cases include enclosures, covers, clamping devices, and adjustment mechanisms. Wing screws streamline assembly and maintenance, especially in setups that require frequent access.
At ETTINGER, you’ll find plastic wing screws designed for professional use in industrial
environments. Common sizes are available and can be delivered quickly, even in large
quantities.
Typical Applications for Wing Screws
Wing screws are used wherever tool-free handling and quick access matter:
- Electrical & electronics: enclosures, covers, maintenance panels
- Mechanical engineering: adjustment mechanisms, temporary fastening
- Automotive: interior components, service access points
- Agricultural equipment: durable, easy-to-release connections in field conditions
Why Choose Plastic Wing Screws – and Why PA 6.6?
Plastic wing screws are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and gentle on mating surfaces. They are ideal for visible components and sensitive finishes.
PA 6.6 (nylon) is an engineering-grade plastic with a strong balance of mechanical and thermal properties. It’s commonly used when durability, stability, and electrical insulation are required.
The material is non-conductive and helps prevent sparking, making it especially suitable for electrical applications.
Key benefits at a glance:
- Strength & resistance: high tensile strength; resistant to oils, greases, and many solvents
- Temperature range: typically -30°C to +95°C (short-term up to ~+110°C)
- Dimensional stability: maintains thread integrity under thermal stress
- Electrical insulation: reduces the risk of leakage currents
- Lightweight: lowers overall assembly weight compared to metal
- Color: natural finish for subtle integration in light-colored housings
What Does UL94 V-2 Flammability Rating Mean?
Wing screws made from PA 6.6 with a UL94-V2 rating meet key fire safety requirements.
The material is self-extinguishing, meaning flames die out shortly after ignition. Limited dripping of burning material is permitted within defined thresholds.
UL94 V-2 is commonly specified for applications that require a baseline level of fire protection, such as electronics manufacturing and automotive components.
This standard helps ensure your assemblies meet relevant certification requirements.
How to Choose the Right Size
Selecting the right wing screw depends on thread size, length, and available installation space. These factors directly impact strength and usability.
Wing screws are available with both metric and imperial threads. The thread size should match the threaded hole and the mechanical load:
- M3: light-duty fastening
- M4 and UNC 6-32: higher load capacity
Screw length is critical for a secure connection. The thread should engage deep enough without protruding on the opposite side.
Head dimensions also affect usability:
- Larger head diameter: easier grip
- Taller head: more leverage when tightening
Available Sizes
| Dimension / Size | Options |
|---|---|
| Head diameter | 16 mm, 20 mm |
| Head height | 8 mm, 10 mm |
| Thread size | M3, M4, UNC6-32 |
| Lengths | 6 mm, 6.35 mm, 8 mm, 9,5 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 12.7 mm |
Need a different size or specification? No problem. Custom production is available on request. You can also order matching nuts directly from our shop.
FAQ – Wing Screws
What’s the difference between wing screws and standard screws?
Wing screws can be tightened and loosened by hand. Standard screws usually require tools
like screwdrivers or wrenches and are designed for higher torque.
When should I use wing screws?
They’re ideal for applications with frequent assembly and disassembly or where quick access
is required.
Are plastic wing screws strong enough?
For many enclosure, electronics, and light mechanical applications, yes. For high-load
connections, metal screws are the better choice.
Why choose PA 6.6 over metal?
PA 6.6 offers advantages in weight, corrosion resistance, and electrical insulation. Metal is
preferable for high mechanical loads.
