• Easy installation and removal with Phillips No. 2 drive and pan head design, providing excellent torque transmission and accessibility.
• Precise dimensional accuracy with M5 x 30mm metric sizing and 2.24mm pitch, ensuring consistent performance and interchangeability.
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards, making them safe for regulated industries and global markets.
• Full threading along the 30mm length maximizes grip and distribution of load, enhancing joint strength in plastic assemblies.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M5 thread forming screws are specifically engineered to address common challenges in plastic fastening, such as stress cracking and strip-out. The 18-8 stainless steel material offers excellent corrosion resistance, crucial for outdoor or humid environments where plastic components are used. With a TRS thread forming design and blunt tip, they displace material without cutting, creating strong threads that resist loosening under vibration. This makes them ideal for plastic assembly in automotive trim, electronics enclosures, and consumer products. The Phillips drive and pan head ensure quick installation with standard tools, reducing labor costs while maintaining high durability and performance in demanding applications.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This M5 x 30mm TRS tapping screw features a metric thread with an approximate pitch of 2.24mm and is fully threaded for consistent engagement. It complies with standard dimensional tolerances for thread forming screws and is designed for use with a No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter). The product meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances and suitable for global industrial use, supporting compliance in sectors like electronics and automotive manufacturing.
