2.6 Fasteners
Example It is possible to insert a 3/8” UNC screw in a M10 threaded hole. However, such a combination
damages the female thread and does not ensure a correct fastening. The screw could loosen
under the influence of aircrafts that roll over. The use of incorrect screws can lead to either
damage to the thread in the mounting support or to an incorrect fixation of the equipment.
