Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M3.5 thread forming screws are specifically engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly applications where material integrity is paramount. The TRS (Thread Rolling Screw) design creates strong, permanent 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 mechanical strength required for durable fastening solutions. The combination of fully threaded design and 1.57mm thread pitch ensures maximum engagement and resistance to vibration loosening, making these Phillips drive screws ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive plastic components, and consumer products where reliable fastening in plastic materials is critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This M3.5 x 20mm tapping screw features metric dimensions with Class 2A thread tolerance for consistent performance. The screw follows standard thread forming specifications for plastic applications and requires a 2.6mm drill bit for proper hole preparation. Manufacturing and material compliance includes full adherence to RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring these fasteners meet current industry standards for restricted substances and sustainable manufacturing practices.
