Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 8 TRS Tri-Lobe tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in plastic fastening, where material integrity and vibration resistance are critical. The 18-8 Stainless Steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, ideal for outdoor or humid conditions, while the Tri-Lobe thread-forming design displaces plastic material without creating chips, reducing the risk of cracking in brittle polymers. With a Phillips drive and precise 16 TPI threading, it ensures quick, secure installations in electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer products, providing reliable thread-forming screw performance that maintains clamp force under dynamic loads.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a No. 8 size with 1/4" length, right-hand threads, and 16 TPI precision, adhering to standard inch measurements. The Tri-Lobe shank cross-section and thread-forming (TRS) tapping method ensure consistent performance in plastics, compatible with a No. 29 drill bit (0.136" diameter). It fully complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, guaranteeing safe and restricted-substance-free use in industrial applications.
