What is a Pigtail Screw?

Pigtail Screw is a screw that usually has a unique spiral or curved design, similar to the shape of a pig's tail (hence the name "Pigtail"). This design allows it to better connect tightly to the target object during installation and enhance stability. Its threads can easily cut into the material and provide a strong grip. It is widely used to connect wires, fix parts or fix other structural parts.

 

Pigtail Screw can be a standard metal screw or made of stainless steel or other alloys as required, which has corrosion and oxidation resistance.

 

Types of Pigtail Screws

There are many types of Pigtail Screws, each type can be selected according to different uses and requirements. Here are some common types:

  • Standard Pigtail Screws: Usually used for general connection and fixing, suitable for most home or industrial purposes.
  • Stainless Steel Pigtail Screws: Suitable for humid or corrosive environments, such as seaside or chemical plants.
  • Copper Pigtail Screws: Used in electrical connections, especially when the electrical system requires good conductivity.
  • Plastic Coated Pigtail Screws: Suitable for electrical applications that require insulation to prevent short circuits or electric shock.

Each type of Pigtail Screw has its specific advantages, and the appropriate material and size should be selected according to the needs.

 

Benefits of Using Pigtail Screws
