S-94209A213 M1.6 x 5 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Enhanced torque transmission and reduced tool slippage with the Torx Plus IP5 drive, ensuring reliable installation in confined spaces.
• Superior corrosion resistance provided by the zinc-plated steel material, extending the fastener's service life in various environments.
• Efficient thread forming in aluminum, brass, and copper materials without pre-tapping, reducing assembly steps and increasing productivity.
• Secure, vibration-resistant fastening due to the tri-lobe shank cross-section, which creates a tight, permanent fit in the parent material.
• Optimized for high-volume assembly with a fully threaded blunt tip design, allowing for consistent driving depth and reliable clamping force.
• Broad compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH environmental regulations, ensuring suitability for global markets and sensitive applications.
• Durable pan head style with a rounded profile for a low-profile finish and increased driver engagement surface.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M1.6 metric tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in fastening softer non-ferrous metals like aluminum, brass, and copper. Its thread-forming design displaces material to create strong, load-bearing threads without generating chips, eliminating the need for pre-tapped holes and reducing assembly time and cost. The Torx Plus drive system offers superior cam-out resistance compared to traditional drives, allowing for higher torque application and minimizing the risk of head stripping in automated or high-torque scenarios. The zinc-plated steel construction provides a protective barrier against oxidation, ensuring long-term reliability in electronics, automotive components, and precision instruments where corrosion resistance and consistent clamp load are critical. The coarse thread pitch and tri-lobe shank further enhance grip and vibration resistance, making it an ideal choice for dynamic load applications.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw conforms to metric coarse thread standards with an M1.6 diameter and 0.35mm pitch. It features a Class 2A thread tolerance for reliable fit, a length of 5mm with a tolerance of -0.8 to 0mm, and is fully threaded with a blunt tip. Manufacturing and material compliance include adherence to RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances and suitable for use in regulated industries.
