S-94209A622 M3 x 10 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior torque transfer and reduced tool slippage with the Torx Plus IP10 drive, ensuring efficient installation and minimizing damage to drive recesses.
• Excellent corrosion resistance provided by the zinc-plated steel finish, extending the screw's service life in various industrial environments.
• Strong, reliable thread formation in ductile materials like aluminum, brass, and copper, creating durable, high-strength fastening points without the need for pre-tapped holes.
• Enhanced holding power and vibration resistance due to the fully threaded tri-lobe shank and coarse 0.5 mm pitch, which displaces material for a secure, permanent fit.
• Streamlined installation process with the right-hand thread and blunt tip, allowing for straightforward driving and reducing the risk of cross-threading.
• Broad material compatibility for use in non-ferrous metals, making these screws a versatile choice for assembly operations in electronics, automotive, and machinery.
• Compliance with international environmental and safety standards, including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring they meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M3 thread forming screws are engineered to address common challenges in fastening aluminum, brass, and copper components, where traditional screws may strip threads or require additional tapping steps. The tri-lobe shank design and coarse 0.5 mm pitch work together to form strong, precise threads in these softer materials, eliminating the need for pre-threaded holes and reducing assembly time and costs. The zinc-plated steel construction offers durability and corrosion resistance, ideal for applications in electronics enclosures, automotive assemblies, and HVAC systems. With the Torx Plus IP10 drive, users benefit from higher torque application and minimized cam-out, ensuring reliable fastening in high-vibration environments and improving overall production efficiency.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features an M3 metric thread with a coarse 0.5 mm pitch and a length tolerance of -0.8 to 0 mm, ensuring precise fit and consistent performance. It is manufactured as a thread forming type with a fully threaded, right-hand tri-lobe shank and a standard pan head. Compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) standards, these screws adhere to strict environmental and safety regulations, making them suitable for global industrial and commercial use.
