Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

  • Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-term durability in harsh industrial environments.
  • Enhanced torque transmission from the Torx Plus IP5 drive, reducing cam-out and tool wear for reliable, high-torque fastening.
  • Secure thread-forming design with Tri-Lobe shank, creating strong, vibration-resistant threads in aluminum, brass, and copper without pre-tapping.
  • Coarse 0.35mm pitch for quick installation and reduced cross-threading risks, improving assembly efficiency in high-volume production.
  • Fully threaded blunt tip ensures consistent engagement and prevents material damage, ideal for delicate non-ferrous metal applications.
  • Precision length tolerance (-0.8 to 0mm) guarantees uniform fastening depth and compatibility with standardized components.
  • Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH meets global environmental standards, supporting sustainable and safe manufacturing practices.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M1.6 metric tapping screws are engineered to address common fastening challenges in aluminum, brass, and copper assemblies. The thread-forming Tri-Lobe shank displaces material to create robust internal threads, eliminating the need for pre-tapped holes and reducing installation time. Combined with the Torx Plus IP5 drive, they deliver maximum torque transfer without slippage, minimizing strip-out risks in soft metals. The zinc-plated steel offers excellent corrosion protection, while the coarse 0.35mm pitch ensures quick, reliable seating in high-vibration environments like electronics, automotive components, and HVAC systems. This design enhances assembly integrity and reduces long-term maintenance costs.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features Metric M1.6 coarse threads with a 0.35mm pitch and Class tolerance for precise fit. It complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety. The fully threaded, blunt tip and right-hand thread direction adhere to standard industrial practices for consistent performance in thread-forming applications.
