• Full threading along the 1/2" length provides consistent holding power and allows for adjustable engagement depth.
• Broad compatibility and easy installation with a standard pan head profile and blunt tip, suited for use with a No. 29 drill bit (0.136" diameter).
• Compliance with environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safe use in various industrial applications.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 8 TRS thread forming screw is engineered to address common challenges in plastic fastening, such as material cracking and thread stripping. The tri-lobe shank cross-section and thread forming design displace plastic material to form precise, robust threads, eliminating the need for pre-tapped holes and reducing assembly time. Made from Black-Oxide 18-8 Stainless Steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for outdoor or humid environments. The T20 Torx drive ensures high torque application with minimal risk of cam-out, enhancing efficiency in automated or manual assembly lines for electronics, automotive components, and consumer goods. Its fully threaded and blunt tip design allows for easy starting and consistent performance in various plastic substrates.
