Product Description

HL (High-Low) thread is a dual-thread profile where high threads and low threads alternate along the screw shank at the same pitch.This unique geometry is purpose-built for fastening into plastic, nylon, and other soft or brittle materials.Our HL thread rolling dies are CNC-ground to form both the high and low thread paths in a single pass.The high thread engages the material first, creating the primary holding power, while the low thread reduces radial stress and driving torque.The result: screws that go in smoothly, hold firmly, and won't crack the host material.Made from M2 HSS with optimized heat treatment, these dies maintain sharp thread definition and dimensional stability through long production runs.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between HL and AB thread?A: AB thread is a dual-lead design for sheet metal.HL is a high-low alternating profile for plastic and soft materials.They serve completely different applications and are not interchangeable.Q: Can HL screws be used in metal?A: HL is optimized for plastic and nylon.For metal applications, AB or B-type tapping screws are recommended.Q: Do you provide custom HL profiles?A: Yes.Send us your drawing or screw sample, and we will manufacture the die to match your exact geometry.
