Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M1.6 thread forming screw is specifically engineered for plastic assembly applications where traditional threaded fasteners may fail. The TRS thread forming technology displaces plastic material during installation, creating strong, permanent threads without generating chips that could contaminate sensitive components. Made from 18-8 stainless steel, these screws provide exceptional corrosion resistance while maintaining the necessary ductility for thread forming operations. The Phillips drive system ensures reliable installation torque transfer, while the fully threaded design maximizes pull-out strength in various plastic materials. These precision metric fasteners solve critical challenges in electronics enclosures, automotive plastic components, and consumer products where vibration resistance and long-term reliability are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This thread forming screw features M1.6 metric threading with approximate 0.67mm pitch and 8mm length, designed for use with No. 55 drill bits (0.052" diameter). The TRS tapping screw type utilizes thread forming methodology for plastic applications. Manufacturing complies with industry standards for dimensional accuracy, including proper head diameter (2.6mm) and head height (1.1mm) specifications. The product is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use in global markets.
