PlasTORX® are metal fasteners designed to be molded into plastic and replace metal stamping and fastener assemblies. They provide high resistance to rotation and pull-out for a high performance assembly. Their hex-lobular design helps reduce stress risers, so they can be used in materials susceptible to cracking and breaking.
They are available in sizes from M4 to M12 (#8 to 1/2"), and special completed assemblies are available.
