Specifications

CP23 is the flush-seated captive: the same reduced-shank retention and the same five-lobe, centre-pinned drive as CP22, under a countersunk head that the collected page describes as the more secure variant of the common 6-lobe TX captive — the flower-petal lobe shape being deliberately uncommon, and the matched insert bits restricted in sale. The collected tabulation runs M4 to M8 with head diameters 7.8–16.8 mm and head heights 2.3–4.4 mm, reduced shank d1 3.0–6.2 mm and shank length L1 8.0–16.0 mm, with d1 and L1 available to customer specification. Manufacture is stated from A2/304 and A4-70 stainless steel as standard, in thread sizes M4–M8 with lengths from 16 to 40 mm. The availability matrix is material-coded cell by cell across 16–40 mm: M4 marks at 16, 20 and 25 mm, M5 at 20–40 mm, M6 at 25 and 30 mm (A2/A4-70) and 40 mm (A4-70), M8 only at 40 mm (A4-70). This is the narrowest tabulated window in the batch — the diagonal band, not a rectangle — so flush captive details should confirm their exact size pair early. The fixing remains two-way reusable: opened daily with the restricted bit, impossible to separate from the panel, and flush enough that nothing snags across the closed door.

Ordering & documentation

Documents

Shipments are backed by Mill Test Certificate (MTC), Dimensional Report, Salt Spray Test Report on request, with full batch traceability from raw material to finished product. Quality management follows the owner-confirmed compliance list: ISO 9001:2015, RoHS, REACH. Exact document sets are confirmed on the order.

Quotation

  • The fastener family (CP23 5-Lobe Pin TX Countersunk Head Captive Screws) plus the standard designation from your drawing — DIN / ISO / JIS / ASTM / ANSI, or a drawing for custom parts.
  • Size (diameter and length), thread type (metric or inch), property class or grade, and coating or finish.
  • Quantity per size and your target delivery date.
  • Destination country, and any required documents (for example a mill test certificate) so the quote includes them.

Sample & supply

Minimum order quantity is 10,000 pieces. Stock items run 3–7 days. Quantities or variants outside the standard range are confirmed at quotation.

Storage & shipping

Parts are packed for export and shipped factory-direct to buyers in Europe, Asia, the Americas and the Middle East. Store fasteners dry and protected until installation, and keep coated parts in their packaging until use; specific packing and preservation requirements can be stated on the order and confirmed at quotation.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the length window so narrow on this page?

Because the collected matrix marks a diagonal band, not a full rectangle: 16 mm appears only on M4, 40 mm only on M5/M6/M8, and the overlap of every gauge sits at 20–30 mm. Rather than present the prose's 16–40 mm as if every pair existed, the page renders the marked cells. If your panel stack needs, say, M8 at 25 mm, quote it — the collected page confirms specials to minimum order, and the L1 shank is already offered to customer specification.

Countersunk captive or button-head captive for a machine door?

Flush (CP23) when the closed surface must be smooth — sliding doors, guards near product, anything wiped down or label-covered. Button (CP22) when the sheet is too thin to countersink, when you want a larger bearing circle, or when the M3 size matters — the button-head line starts at M3 while the countersunk starts at M4. Both use the same 5-lobe pin restricted bits, the same A2/304 and A4-70 standard materials, and the same captive-washer retention.

What is the MOQ and lead time for these security screws?

Minimum order quantity is 10,000 pieces per item. Stocked sizes ship in 3–7 days; unmarked matrix pairs, zinc-plated steel on request, and specials made to order are quoted with a confirmed schedule. Confirm the exact schedule against quantity and size mix at quotation.

What should an RFQ for these security screws state?

State the designation code and head style, the drive (5-lobe pin TX or 7-lobe pin — matched restricted insert bits required), thread or tapping size and length, the material marker you expect (A2 or A4-70 stainless; zinc-plated steel on request), the substrate or mating part, required certificates, and quantity per size — plus destination country. If you are matching existing fixings, name the drive generation explicitly: 5-lobe, 6-lobe and 7-lobe pin bits are not interchangeable.
