S-94209A317 M2 x 12 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior torque transmission with Torx Plus IP6 drive, reducing cam-out and tool wear for reliable, high-torque installations.
• Enhanced corrosion resistance from the zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-term durability in various industrial environments.
• Strong, reliable thread forming in ductile materials like aluminum, brass, and copper, creating secure, vibration-resistant joints without pre-tapping.
• Optimized for automated assembly with a tri-lobe shank design that provides anti-rotation during driving, improving efficiency and consistency.
• Coarse thread pitch (0.4mm) for faster installation and robust holding power in softer base materials.
• Fully threaded blunt tip design ensures consistent engagement and reduces the risk of material cracking during insertion.
• Compliance with major environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, making them suitable for global supply chains and eco-conscious manufacturing.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M2 thread forming screws are engineered to solve common fastening challenges in aluminum, brass, and copper applications. The zinc-plated steel construction provides a protective barrier against oxidation, extending service life in electronics, automotive components, and lightweight assemblies. The Torx Plus drive (IP6/T6) delivers maximum torque transfer, minimizing slippage and head stripping—critical for high-volume production lines. The tri-lobe shank and thread forming design displace material to form strong, permanent threads without chips, eliminating the need for tapped holes and reducing assembly steps. This combination of features ensures reliable performance in vibration-prone environments, making them ideal for securing sensitive components where loosening is not an option.

Specification Summary & Compliance
