Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M2.5 thread forming screws are specifically engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly applications. The TRS (Thread Rolling Screw) design with its 1.12mm thread pitch creates precise, durable threads in plastic substrates without generating chips or debris that could compromise electronic components. The zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection while maintaining the strength needed for long-term fastening integrity. The blunt tip configuration prevents material splitting during installation, making these Phillips drive screws ideal for automated assembly processes in electronics enclosures, automotive plastic components, and consumer product manufacturing. With compatibility for 1.85mm drill bits, these metric screws ensure precise hole alignment and reduce installation time in high-volume production environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These M2.5 x 18mm tapping screws feature fully threaded design with standard metric thread tolerances for consistent performance. The thread forming tapping method follows industry standards for plastic fastening applications. Manufacturing compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant certifications, ensuring environmental responsibility and global market acceptance. The 4.4mm pan head diameter and 1.8mm head height provide standardized dimensions for uniform installation across various assembly applications.
