ST4.8×1.6×16 Phillips Pan Head Tapping Screws For Automotive Dashboard Fixing

Brief Overview

Automotive dashboards consist of LCD screens, plastic trims, sensor brackets and wiring fixtures that demand compact, vibration-proof fasteners. ST4.8×1.6×16 Phillips pan head tapping screws are standardized fixing parts for fuel, hybrid and EV instrument panels.

With a precise 1.6mm thread pitch and 16mm clamping length, the screws cut internal threads directly on thin steel, ABS plastic and composite plates, eliminating prefabricated nuts and lowering auto assembly costs.

Core Application Scenarios

1. Central Control Screen Backplate Mounting

Fit thin metal back frames of central touch screens. Uniform clamping force avoids cracking plastic shells.

Requirements: Low-profile pan head, anti-loose against road vibration, cockpit rust resistance

Matched spec: Zinc-plated carbon steel ST4.8×1.6×16 tapping screw

2. Dashboard Trim & Air Outlet Cover Fixing

Concealed installation for decorative panels and air outlet housings, flush round heads preserve interior aesthetics.

Requirements: Scratch-free surface, reusable for aftermarket maintenance, anti-plastic creep threads

Matched spec: Black oxide ST4.8×1.6×16 tapping screw

3. Sensor & Wiring Harness Bracket Locking

Secure light sensor bases and wire routing brackets in narrow hidden spaces.

Requirements: Slip-proof threads, -40℃~85℃ temperature tolerance, anti-corrosion

Matched spec: 304 stainless steel ST4.8×1.6×16 tapping screw
