What is Captive Screw?

A captive screw is a fastener that stays attached to a part or assembly to prevent loss and simplify assembly. These screws are often secured with nuts or other mechanisms on the reverse side, ensuring they remain in place. Commonly used in electronics, automotive, and aerospace industries, captive screws come in various materials and sizes to fit different applications.
