All types of Lyn-Tron captive panel retainers come in multiple materials, varying shank lengths, thickness, and all common thread sizes of screws. With so many options for retainers, you can find the right type of captive panel for your screws in applications, equipment, and parts needed.

Lyn-Tron creates captive panel retainer type F from several materials:

• Brass captive panel retainers
• Stainless steel captive panel retainers

Lyn-Tron's captive panel retainer also comes with several options for type F:

• Installation type
  • Flare Style Panel Screw Retainers will be flared into place after being inserted into the hole for a more permanent installation.
• Retaining style
  • Threaded Retainers have a shallow female thread that the screw is threaded through. Once the screw is completely threaded through, the female thread functions as the retainer, preventing the screw from coming.
• Spring tensioned
  • Non-Spring Tensioned style retainers will have a smooth face and are designed for use without the spring.
