Peter,
        That question is essentially unanswerable in this format. The torque
required to keep a fastener in place is a function of the material
properties of the fastening system and the shock and vibration loads that
system will see. You really need to see a mechanical engineering structural
analyst to get the answer you need.

Subject: [TN] Torque requirement


Hello,

Can anyone provide some general guidelines on the
torque requirement for mounting and fastening common
hardware onto FR4 materials with threaded steel
fasteners, lock washers and bolts?

Any table with starting values for common sizes and
screw types would be greatly appreciated.

Rgds,
Peter
