positive breakaway screws or positively-engaged breakaway screws Explanation: Whylidall translates formschlussig as p "positive" or "positive-engaged." "abreissende" translates as "breakaway." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-01-05 20:36:43 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- flush-fit breakaway screws? |

something along the lines of form-fitting snap-off Explanation: I'm definitely not quite sure here, but the way I understand this snippet it suggests that once the screws are snapped off (for whatever reason) they are no longer able to penetrate/perforate the Isolierkoerper, since they break off 'formschluessig'. If that does not quite work in your context, here are some other suggestions from Siemens Woerterbuch Antriebstechnik & Fachwoerterbuch Industrielle Elektrotechnik: 1)formschlüssig form-locking form-closed positive non-slipping non-slip form-fit keyed mit Federkeil (auf Welle) befestigt geared über Zahnräder verbunden no-slip rigidly engaged rigid starr 2)abreißen break break off snap zerspringen, zerreißen, entzweigehen come to a dead stop ein Prozeß, eine Beziehung usw. tear off auseinanderreißen (aktiv tear down niederreißen pull off auseinanderreißen (aktiv pull down Gebäude strip Werksanlage, Maschine dismantle Werksanlage, Maschine 3)Abreißkontakt arcing contact 4)formschlüssige Bauart form-fit design 5)Abreißdiode f snap-off diode good luck with that one!
