Panel Nuts

Hex panel nuts, also known as face nuts, are very thin, light-duty fasteners with relatively large holes. In most cases, their width is very close to the diameter of the fastener they secure. Because they are so thin, these metric panel nuts usually have a low thread count.

The two most common types of panel nuts are knurled and hex. Knurled panel nuts feature a grip pattern on their rounded outer surface and are designed to be hand-tightened. Hex panel nuts are meant to be tightened with a wrench or other tool.

Applications for Panel Nuts

Due to their unique geometry and low thread count, panel nuts are most often used for light-duty applications. Common uses for panel nuts include:

• Mounting threaded electrical switches
• Potentiometer control
• Lightweight lock nut applications
• and more
