Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M2.5 x 16mm TRS tapping screw delivers exceptional engineering value in plastic assembly applications where material integrity and long-term reliability are paramount. The zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection, while the thread forming design eliminates the risk of plastic cracking or stress concentration by displacing material rather than cutting it. The combination of Phillips No. 1 drive and fully threaded shank ensures consistent installation torque and maximum pull-out resistance. These metric tapping screws are particularly valuable in electronics enclosures, automotive trim components, and consumer products where plastic-to-plastic or plastic-to-metal fastening requires precision and durability without compromising material structure.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This M2.5 x 16mm fully threaded tapping screw features precision metric threading with approximately 1.12mm pitch and standard manufacturing tolerances. The TRS (Thread Rolling Screw) design utilizes thread forming technology for optimal performance in plastic materials with recommended 1.85mm drill bit size. Manufactured in compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and global market acceptability. The zinc-plated steel material and Phillips drive system meet industry standards for corrosion resistance and drive reliability in industrial applications.
