Phillips Screws
Phillips screws are cross-head fasteners designed to allow controlled slipping (cam-out) under high torque.
Common driver sizes:
- PH0: Very small electronics
- PH1: Small screws and sensors
- PH2: Most common hardware
- PH3: Large fasteners
Correct Driver Fit
A proper driver:
- Fully fills the screw head
- Has minimal wobble
- Engages all four contact points
Signs of Incorrect Fit
- Stripping or rounding of the head
- Slipping during tightening
- Excessive force required
Using the correct driver size is one of the simplest ways to prevent hardware failure.
