S-99461A510 Length 3/16" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 Stainless Steel construction for long-lasting performance in demanding environments
• Excellent holding power in plastic materials through advanced thread forming technology that creates strong, permanent threads
• Reduced installation torque and material stress thanks to the Tri-Lobe shank design that minimizes radial forces during insertion
• Quick and secure drive engagement with Phillips No. 0 drive style for efficient assembly operations
• Optimized for plastic applications with precise 42 TPI thread pitch and blunt tip design to prevent material damage
• Reliable compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH environmental regulations for industrial safety standards
• Simplified installation process with compatible No. 56 drill bit specification for precise hole preparation

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This precision-engineered No. 0 Phillips TRS tapping screw delivers exceptional value in plastic assembly applications where material integrity and long-term performance are critical. The 18-8 Stainless Steel construction provides outstanding corrosion resistance, making it ideal for environments where moisture or chemicals may be present. The thread forming technology combined with the Tri-Lobe shank cross-section creates secure, high-retention threads in plastic materials without generating chips or debris that could compromise electronic components. The fully threaded design ensures maximum holding power along the entire 3/16" length, while the pan head style offers a low-profile finish that sits flush against surfaces. These plastic fasteners are particularly valuable in electronics enclosures, automotive trim components, and consumer products where reliable fastening in plastic substrates is essential for product durability and performance.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This tapping screw features precise dimensional specifications including a 0.06" thread diameter, 42 threads per inch, and 3/16" length with right-hand threading. The TRS (Thread Rolling Screw) design follows industry-standard thread forming principles for plastic applications. Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and regulatory compliance for industrial use. The screw is engineered for use with No. 56 drill bits (0.0465" diameter) to achieve optimal thread engagement and holding strength in plastic materials.
