Product Name
Leister 100.817 - CHEESE HEAD SCREW M3 X 10
Brief Description
This product is a Leister genuine spare part, specifically a cheese head screw with metric dimensions M3 x 10. Cheese head screws are characterized by their cylindrical head with a flat top and a flat bearing surface, typically featuring a slotted drive. This particular screw is designed for secure fastening within Leister hot air tools and equipment.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Fastening internal components within Leister hot air tools, such as the Hot Jet S.- General fastening in precision instruments and electronics.- Securing parts in engineering and mechanical assemblies.- Mounting electrical components and enclosures.- Applications requiring a secure and aesthetic fastening solution in metal and plastic.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- General Manufacturing- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/ Building Services (e.g., roofing, flooring)- Automotive Service/Repair- Electrical Services or Products- Distributers & Resellers- Industrial Supply- Aerospace/Defense- Marine (e.g., boat manufacturing, harsh environments with stainless steel variants)- Furniture (with brass variants)- LED/Electronics
Special and Unique Features
- Genuine Leister spare part, ensuring precise fit and compatibility with Leister equipment.- Cheese head design provides a large bearing surface for firm grip and even pressure distribution, reducing surface damage.- Cylindrical head allows for use in compact spaces, such as electrical panels or next to flanges.- Deep slot drive (common for cheese heads) allows for more driving power and reduces cam-out.
Key Properties
- Thread Size: M3- Length: 10mm- Head Type: Cheese Head- Drive Type: Typically slotted (though other drives exist for general cheese head screws).- Material: Often steel (e.g., A2 Stainless Steel for corrosion resistance, or zinc-plated steel).- Thread Pitch: 0.5mm (standard for M3).- Head Diameter: Approximately 5.50mm.- Head Height: Approximately 2.00mm to 2.5mm.
Surface Compatibility
- Compatible with materials typically found in Leister equipment, including various plastics and metals.- Suitable for fastening into tapped holes in plastic, metal, and other engineering materials.- Can be used with corresponding nuts and washers for enhanced fastening security.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Generic M3 x 10 cheese head screws, provided they meet the required material, strength, and dimensional specifications (e.g., DIN 84 / ISO 1207 standard).- Other M3 screws with different head types (e.g., pan head, socket head) may be substituted if space, aesthetic, and application requirements allow, though pan head screws have largely replaced cheese heads in many applications.
Comparison Note
Using a genuine Leister 100.817 screw ensures exact fit, material quality, and adherence to the manufacturer's specifications, which is crucial for maintaining the performance, safety, and warranty of Leister hot air tools. Generic alternatives might vary in material composition, finish, and precise dimensions, potentially affecting tool longevity or performance.
