TBS Aluminum button head socket screws

❓ Preguntas Frecuentes

Preguntas Frecuentes (FAQ)

Q: What type of aluminum alloy is used in these screws and what advantages does it offer over standard steel screws on FPV drones?
A: These screws are made of 7075 aluminum alloy. This alloy is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio, meaning they are very strong but significantly lighter than steel screws. On FPV drones, reducing weight is crucial for increasing flight time and improving agility, so these screws are an ideal upgrade.

Q: What are the diameter and length of these screws, and which specific parts of an FPV drone are they best suited for?
A: Although the description does not specify the exact diameter and length, 'button head socket' screws are typically M3 (3mm diameter) and of variable length, commonly between 6mm and 12mm. They are especially suitable for assembling the drone's structure, such as the frame (for example, the Source Aureo mentioned), the power distribution board (PDB), and the electronics, where a secure fastening and minimal weight are desired.

Q: What kind of tool is needed to install these screws and what precautions should I take to avoid damaging the screw head or thread?
A: These screws require an Allen (hex) key of the right size for the socket head. It is important to use a good-quality Allen key of the correct size to avoid rounding the screw head. When tightening, do not apply excessive force, especially in aluminum, as you could damage the thread or the screw head. A light thread lubricant can help make installation easier and prevent seizing.
