Function:
Cabinet Box Assembly (Primary Function):
Blind Connection: They allow two cabinet panels to be joined securely at a 90-degree angle without fasteners being visible from the outside.
Mechanism: The screw is driven into the face of one panel (e.g., the side panel). The conical head protrudes slightly. The second panel (e.g., the top or bottom panel) has pre-drilled holes containing cam lock nuts. The conical head of the screw fits into the recess of the cam nut.
Tightening: Rotating the cam nut (usually with a screwdriver or hex key) pulls the conical screw head down into its recess. This action simultaneously pulls the two panels tightly together and locks the screw head firmly in place.
Strength & Alignment: Provides a strong, rigid, and precisely aligned joint essential for cabinetry. The flange ensures consistent clamping force and prevents over-tightening.
Hinge Mounting:
Attachment: Used to attach European-style concealed cabinet hinges (like Blum clips) to the inside of the cabinet side panel.
Holes: The hinge plate has matching holes with conical recesses.
Installation: The screw is driven through the hinge plate hole directly into the cabinet side panel. The conical head sits within the recess on the hinge plate. Tightening the screw pulls the hinge plate tightly against the cabinet side. The flange prevents over-tightening and distributes the load.
Adjustability: While the screw holds the hinge firmly, fine adjustments (up/down, left/right, depth) are typically made using dedicated screws on the hinge itself
Structure:
Conical Head: The most distinctive feature. The head tapers like a cone.
Underside: The conical underside is designed to precisely fit into the matching conical recess of a cam lock nut (also called a connector or cam fitting).
Top: Usually has a cross recess (Phillips #2 or Pozi #2) drive, though some may have Torx (star) drives. A small flat head top surface is common.
Flange/Collar: Directly below the conical head is a wide, flat, circular flange. This is crucial for:
Providing a positive stop against the surface of the cabinet panel.
Distributing clamping force over a wider area, preventing the screw head from pulling through the particle board or MDF.
Creating a gap between the conical head and the panel surface, ensuring the head can rotate freely within the cam nut recess.
Shank:
Smooth Section: Just below the flange, the shank is typically smooth and unthreaded for a short distance (roughly equal to the thickness of the panel it's driven into). This allows the screw to pivot slightly during final tightening without the threads binding in the first panel.
Threaded Section: The lower portion has coarse, deep threads optimized for gripping particle board, MDF, and other engineered wood panels commonly used in cabinetry. The thread profile is aggressive for maximum holding power in these materials.
Tip: Usually has a sharp, self-tapping point to easily penetrate engineered wood panels without pre-drilling (though pilot holes are highly recommended for accuracy and to prevent splitting, especially near edges).
Size: The most common size is M6 x ~13mm (6mm thread diameter, ~13mm thread length). The overall length is typically around 20mm. Other sizes exist (e.g., M5) but M6 is the standard for cabinet box assembly.
