Screw & Washer Assemblies
Screw and washer assemblies (often called combo screws or SEMS screws) come with a plain and/or spring washer pre-fitted on the screw. One part instead of two means faster assembly lines and no loose washers at the workstation. We supply 304 stainless hex socket and hex head assemblies as part of the current catalog.

About this category
The captive washer spins freely but cannot fall off. The plain washer distributes the clamping load; the spring washer adds tension that resists loosening under vibration. Pre-assembly removes a picking and alignment step from the line, which matters most in high-volume electronics and appliance production.
Assemblies are specified the same way as the base screw — head style, drive, material, finish, diameter and length — with the washer combination noted. If you need a specific washer arrangement, describe it in the RFQ and we will match the sourcing option.
Typical applications
- High-volume electronics and appliance assembly lines
- Sheet metal housings where a loose washer is impractical
- Service and repair kits that must stay complete
- Any workstation where reducing parts handling pays off

Screw & Washer Assemblies — common questions
Which washer combinations are available?
Our current catalog covers common plain + spring combinations in 304 stainless. Other arrangements depend on specification — send the requirement with your RFQ and we will confirm availability with a quotation.
Why choose an assembly instead of a screw plus separate washers?
Fewer parts to order, stock and handle; no washer dropped on the line; consistent fit every time. The unit price is higher than a bare screw, but total assembly cost is usually lower — quotation based on quantity will show the difference for your volume.
