S-92295A308 Length 1/4" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior plastic retention with Tri-Lobe shank design that creates strong, vibration-resistant threads without chipping or cracking materials
• Enhanced corrosion protection through black zinc-plating that withstands industrial environments and extends service life
• Optimized drive efficiency with Phillips No. 2 drive style providing reliable torque transfer and reducing cam-out during installation
• Reduced assembly steps through thread forming technology that eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes in plastic components
• Precision compatibility with No. 23 drill bits (0.154" diameter) ensuring proper fit and optimal thread engagement
• Consistent performance with fully threaded 16 TPI design that maintains uniform clamping force across the entire fastener length
• Regulatory compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for global manufacturing and environmental safety

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 8 TRS thread forming screws deliver exceptional value in plastic assembly applications where material integrity is paramount. The Black Zinc-Plated Steel construction combined with the Tri-Lobe shank cross-section creates a cold-forming action that displaces plastic material rather than cutting it, eliminating chips and stress fractures common with traditional tapping methods. This thread forming technology produces stronger, more reliable threads in thermoplastics and other plastic composites, significantly reducing assembly failures in automotive trim, electronic enclosures, and consumer products. The rounded pan head style with Phillips drive ensures flush mounting and efficient installation in high-volume production environments, while the 16 TPI threading provides optimal pitch for most plastic thicknesses encountered in industrial manufacturing.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These thread forming screws feature precision 0.164" thread diameter with 16 threads per inch and 1/4" length for consistent performance in plastic fastening applications. Manufactured to industry standards for TRS tapping screw types with right-hand threading and blunt tip design. Fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and global market acceptance. Designed for use with No. 23 drill bits (0.154" diameter) to achieve proper hole preparation and optimal thread engagement in plastic materials.
