Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

  • Superior thread forming capability with TRS design creates permanent, vibration-resistant threads in plastic materials
  • Exceptional holding power thanks to the Tri-Lobe shank cross-section that displaces material during installation
  • Corrosion-resistant zinc plating provides durable surface protection for long-term reliability in various environments
  • Optimized for plastic applications with blunt tip design that prevents material splitting during installation
  • Easy installation and removal with No. 2 Phillips drive that offers reliable torque transmission
  • Precise fastening alignment ensured by standard pan head design with rounded profile
  • Full thread engagement along the entire 1/4" length provides maximum holding strength

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These zinc-plated steel TRS tapping screws are specifically engineered for plastic fastening applications where traditional fasteners often fail. The thread forming design eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes while creating strong, permanent threads in plastic substrates. The Tri-Lobe shank cross-section displaces material during installation, generating exceptional resistance to vibration loosening and back-out forces. With 20 threads per inch and right-hand threading, these screws provide reliable performance in plastic assembly operations across automotive, electronics, and consumer goods manufacturing. The blunt tip prevents material splitting, while the No. 2 Phillips drive ensures consistent installation torque for production efficiency.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These No. 5 x 1/4" tapping screws feature inch system measurements with fully threaded design and standard thread forming specifications. Manufactured to precise dimensional standards with 0.125" thread diameter and compatible with No. 33 drill bit (0.113" diameter) for optimal installation. The product is fully RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) compliant, meeting international environmental and safety regulations for industrial use.
