• Optimized grip and stability from the Tri-Lobe shank design, minimizing rotation during driving and improving joint integrity.
• Full UNC coarse threading for faster installation and high pull-out strength in various applications.
• Pan head with rounded profile provides a low-profile, finished appearance while distributing clamp load effectively.
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations ensures environmental safety and meets global manufacturing standards.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 6-32 x 3/8" Torx Plus tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in assembling aluminum, brass, and copper components, where traditional fasteners may strip or loosen. The thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing labor and tooling costs while creating durable, high-strength threads that resist vibration. Made from black corrosion-resistant coated steel, it offers long-term protection against rust and wear in humid or corrosive settings. The Tri-Lobe shank enhances anti-rotation performance, and the Torx Plus drive allows for higher torque application with minimal slippage, making it ideal for automated assembly lines and precision equipment. These features collectively improve installation speed, reduce maintenance, and ensure reliable performance in industrial fastening applications.

Specification Summary & Compliance

The screw adheres to UNC coarse thread standards with a thread size of 6-32 and a diameter of 0.138", ensuring compatibility and ease of use. It features a length of 3/8" with a tolerance of -0.03" to 0" for precise fit. The thread forming method and blunt tip facilitate smooth entry in pre-drilled holes using a No. 32 drill bit (0.116" diameter). Compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) confirms it is free of hazardous substances, meeting international environmental and safety regulations for industrial components.
