Threaded fastener

A threaded fastener is a discrete piece of hardware that has internal or external screw threads. They are usually used for the assembly of multiple parts and facilitate disassembly.[1]

The most common types are the screw, nut and bolt. Other, more specialized types, include captive threaded fasteners, stud, threaded inserts, and threaded rods.
