S-99461A912 Length 6 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 Stainless Steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability in humid or chemically exposed environments.
• Efficient thread forming using TRS technology creates strong, permanent threads in plastics without pre-tapping, reducing assembly time and tooling costs.
• Optimized for plastic materials with a blunt tip design that minimizes material stress and cracking during installation.
• Secure fastening from the fully threaded shank and precise 0.67 mm pitch, providing maximum holding power in plastic assemblies.
• Easy installation with a No. 0 Phillips pan head, offering a comfortable grip and reduced cam-out risk for consistent torque application.
• Compact design with a 2.6 mm head diameter and 6 mm length, ideal for space-constrained applications in electronics and small plastic components.
• Environmental compliance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards, making these screws safe for use in regulated industries and consumer products.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

Engineered specifically for plastic assembly applications, this M1.6 x 6mm tapping screw addresses common challenges in electronics, automotive trim, and consumer goods manufacturing. The 18-8 Stainless Steel material provides excellent resistance to oxidation and chemical exposure, while the TRS thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations—reducing part count and assembly steps. The Phillips pan head with No. 0 drive size ensures reliable torque transfer without stripping, and the fully threaded configuration with 0.67 mm pitch delivers uniform stress distribution to prevent plastic deformation. These features make it an ideal choice for securing plastic housings, connectors, and panels where vibration resistance and long-term integrity are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric tapping screw features M1.6 x 6mm dimensions with standard right-hand threads and a blunt tip optimized for plastic materials. It complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety. The screw is designed for use with No. 55 drill bits (0.052" diameter) and maintains consistent thread engagement through its fully threaded construction, providing reliable performance in industrial fastening applications.
