S-90417A125 Length 3/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with Black-Oxide Steel finish, extending service life in various industrial environments
• Exceptional holding power in plastic materials due to thread forming TRS design that creates strong, permanent threads without chips
• Reduced installation torque and cam-out with Phillips No. 2 drive for efficient, secure fastening operations
• Enhanced material displacement and vibration resistance from Tri-Lobe shank cross-section design
• Complete thread engagement with fully threaded blunt tip for consistent performance across the entire fastener length
• Optimized for 1/8" pre-drilled holes in plastic components, minimizing preparation time and ensuring proper fit
• Compliance with international environmental standards including RoHS 3 and REACH for global manufacturing applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 6 x 3/8" TRS Black-Oxide Steel tapping screws are specifically engineered for plastic assembly applications where traditional fasteners often fail. The thread forming technology eliminates the risk of plastic cracking during installation by displacing material rather than cutting it, creating stronger threads that won't strip under vibration or thermal cycling. The Tri-Lobe shank design provides superior resistance to loosening while the Black-Oxide finish offers protection against corrosion in demanding environments. Ideal for electronic enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer products, these screws deliver reliable performance where plastic-to-plastic or plastic-to-metal connections require durable, long-lasting fastening solutions.
