nylon hardware

This has to do more with fabbing than repair. I want to find some #6 nylon machine screws and nuts. This would make my life much easier when screwing down TO-220 transistors. I can't use clips on the stuff I make because the transistors attach to the enclosure, not individual heatsinks. I have my own insulating sheet material and I don't want to buy a mounting hardware kit for each transistor, it would cost more than the transistors. I need nonconductive fasteners.

X-Trace: posting.google.com Far too often you find new text posted through News.Google with *no* accompanying quoted material. But this is the first I've seen via that route with only quoted material -- and *no* new text. :-)

I think Digi-Key and Mouser both carry these.

You're right! Digi-Key has nylon screws... about $10 per 100 screws in the size I seek, and I was getting ready to order some stuff from them anyway.

McMaster Carr charges several dollars PER SCREW (PTFE -- no mention of nylon).

Look harder! McMaster-Carr is about half that. Example: p/n 94690A110 4-40 x 1/2" Nylon binding head $4.80/100 p/n 94690A146 6-32 x 3/8" Nylon binding head $4.93/100 p/n 94812A112 4-40 Nylon nuts $5.13/100 Search for 'plastic screws' and 'nylon nuts' What more do you want?

Any decent hardware store should carry white nylon plastic screws/nuts/washers. Usually in the Jandorf boxes.
