Outdoor electrical boxes, monitoring terminals and communication equipment are widely distributed along substations, power distribution systems and power transmission lines. The screws are mainly used for box structure assembly, column fixing and support connection.
As the equipment is in outdoor environment for a long time, the screws shall have stable clamping force and good weather resistance to prevent the structure from loosening or deformation due to wind load, temperature difference change or long-term stress action. Stainless steel screws and corrosion resistant coated screws are often used in these applications to ensure long-term stability of the box structure.
- Material & Coating Matrix：
- Stainless Steel 316: For marine and coastal environments (Superior acid/alkali resistance).
- Stainless Steel 304: For general outdoor use with standard humidity.
- High-Zinc Coating: Offering 1000h+ Salt Spray Test (SST) results for heavy-duty power grid infrastructure.
