Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M5 tapping screws are specifically engineered for plastic assembly applications where reliable fastening is critical. The zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection while maintaining the strength required for industrial use. The thread-forming TRS design eliminates the risk of material cracking common in brittle plastics by displacing rather than removing material, creating stronger threads that won't loosen under vibration. The Phillips drive system ensures quick installation with standard tools, reducing assembly time in high-volume manufacturing. With 2.24mm thread pitch and fully threaded 16mm length, these screws deliver consistent clamping force across the entire engagement area, making them ideal for electronic enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer products where plastic components require secure, permanent fastening solutions.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These metric M5 x 16mm TRS tapping screws feature precision thread forming technology with standard ISO metric thread specifications. The pan head design with 8.8mm diameter and 3.32mm height provides optimal bearing surface for secure fastening. Manufactured to exacting standards for use with 3.75mm drill bits, these screws ensure proper fit and performance in plastic applications. Full compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations guarantees environmental safety and regulatory acceptance for industrial use across global markets.
