S-97870A217 M6 x 16 mm Sealing Tamper-Resistant Torx Flat Head Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Tamper-resistant T30 Torx drive prevents unauthorized removal, enhancing security in public or controlled-access environments
• Integrated Buna-N rubber O-ring provides reliable sealing against fluids and contaminants, withstanding pressures up to 1500 psi
• 18-8 stainless steel construction with passivated finish delivers excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability in harsh conditions
• Undercut flat head design ensures a flush, low-profile installation that minimizes protrusion and snagging risks
• Class 6g thread fit with M6x1mm coarse pitch offers precise, vibration-resistant fastening for high-stress industrial applications
• Full threading along the 16mm length maximizes grip and load distribution across the entire engagement area
• RoHS 3 and REACH compliance guarantees environmental safety and regulatory adherence for global supply chains

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M6 flat head screw is engineered to address critical challenges in industrial assembly, where both security and environmental sealing are paramount. The tamper-resistant Torx T30 drive deters vandalism and unauthorized disassembly in public infrastructure, machinery access panels, and electronic enclosures. Combined with the Buna-N rubber O-ring, it creates a robust seal that prevents fluid ingress and dust contamination in applications exposed to moisture, oils, or variable pressures up to 1500 psi. The 18-8 stainless steel material and passivated finish provide superior resistance to rust and chemical corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor, marine, or chemical processing equipment. The undercut flat head profile allows for a seamless, countersunk fit that reduces aerodynamic drag and improves safety in moving parts. These features make it a reliable choice for security fastening and sealing applications in automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery sectors.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a metric M6x1mm coarse thread with Class 6g tolerance for precise fit and vibration resistance. The fully threaded 16mm length and 90° countersink angle ensure optimal engagement in standard holes up to 6.655 mm. It complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, affirming its suitability for environmentally conscious and regulated industries.
