Jinghong Fasteners® Slotted screws are easy to manufacture and use, making them suitable for certain applications where simplicity and cost-effectiveness are priorities.
One limitation of slotted screws is that they are more prone to camming out (slipping) when excessive torque is applied, which can potentially damage the screw head or the material.
In modern applications, slotted screws have been largely replaced by other screw types, such as Phillips, Torx, or hex screws, which offer improved torque transfer and reduced slippage.
