Hammond TSCREW1032-50 50-Pack 10-32 Knurled Rack Thumb Screws

TSCREW1032-50 is a 50-piece package of 10-32 rack thumb screws for mounting equipment into 10-32 threaded rack rails. Each screw ships with a factory-installed nylon washer, so installers, maintenance departments and OEM production lines get a complete, reusable mounting solution in one package. The large knurled head lets patch panels, cable managers, blanking panels, shelves and test equipment be installed or removed by hand, without reaching for a tool.

The screws are heat-treated steel with a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance and a professional appearance; the material is listed as mild steel. Heat-treated construction resists stripping for dependable long-term performance, and the #10 nylon washer helps protect painted rack rails and equipment faceplates from scratches during installation.

Each screw in TSCREW1032-50 has a 0.45 in (11 mm) head diameter, a 0.38 in (10 mm) head height and an overall screw length of 1.00 in (25 mm). The drawing details a #10-32 x 0.625 in UNF thread with a dogpoint to aid thread entry, and a #2 Phillips/Robertson knurled thumb screw head, so a screwdriver can be used whenever additional torque is needed. Shipping weight for the pack is 1.1 lbs (0.50 kg).

Installation is straightforward: align the equipment flange with the threaded rack rail, insert the screw through the panel with the nylon washer against the faceplate, and hand-tighten. Because they can be loosened by hand, these thumb screws suit racks in data centers, telecom rooms, AV installations and industrial network cabinets where equipment moves, adds and changes are frequent. The part is RoHS and REACH compliant, USMCA compliant, TAA compliant, made in Canada, and classified ECCN EAR99. For higher-torque or permanent installations, pilot-point SCREW Series rack mounting screws are the better choice.
