    Plastic Washers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Washers. Plastic Washers.
    All of these washers are lightweight, nonconductive, and naturally rust resistant. They are commonly used in electronics and automation applications to take the pressure off screws and nuts and protect mounting surfaces.
    High-Strength High-Temperature PEEK—These washers bear heavier loads than most other plastic washers. In addition, they won't melt or deform when exposed to high temperatures up to 550° F. PEEK washers aren't very impact resistant, however, so they may crack or dent if subjected to hard bumps and vibrations.
    Electrically Insulating Ultem PEI—Our best electrical insulators, these washers are often used to secure components in circuit-breaker housings and semiconductors.

    Extra-High-Temperature Mica Washers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Washers. Extra-High-Temperature Mica Washers.
    These washers won't melt, stick, or become brittle, even when exposed to temperatures as high as 1050° F. They make excellent insulators and are often used to secure electrical connections in transformers. Mica can chip and flake due to wear, however, so these washers are not recommended for high-vibration applications.

    Lightweight, nonconductive, and naturally rust resistant, these plastic spacers are commonly used for electronic and automation applications.
    High-Temperature High-Strength PEEK—These are our strongest plastic spacers. They also won't degrade when exposed to high heat, so they're a good choice for transmission systems and electric battery packs. They aren't very impact resistant, however, and may crack or dent if subjected to hard bumps and vibrations.
    Military Specification—These spacers are manufactured and tested to meet strict U.S. military standards for material and construction.

    Sealing Washers

    Prevent leaks while distributing weight evenly under nuts and screws. These washers compress as you tighten to keep air and fluid in, and dust and contaminants out. Use them anywhere you need a tight seal, such as protecting electronics from moisture or keeping lubricants contained in machinery.
    Rubber

    Resist leaks better than metal sealing washers, but are more susceptible to wear and tear. Reuse these washers a handful of times, as long as the material isn't damaged.
    Weather- and Chemical-Resistant Santoprene—Not only will these washers withstand sunlight, rain, and ozone, they also won't degrade when exposed to acids and other harsh chemicals. They are more wear resistant than EPDM washers to stand up to repeated use.

    Shims

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shims. Round, Sold Individually.
    With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, these shims precisely align, space, and level components on shafts, arbors, and machinery.
    You can stack multiple shims to achieve your exact thickness, but stacking more than four may cause them to shift. Remember, fewer shims are better, so a couple of thicker shims are more stable than a bunch of thin shims.
    Color-Coded Plastic—These shims are color coded by thickness to quickly spot and grab the right size every time. Softer than metal, they won't mar delicate surfaces and they will never rust.
