S-96001A053 Length 1/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability in various environments.
• Enhanced torque transmission and reduced cam-out thanks to the Torx Plus IP3 drive, allowing for higher installation speeds and fewer tool slips.
• Secure, vibration-resistant fastening in plastics due to the Tri-Lobe shank design, which creates strong thread engagement without pre-tapping.
• Reduced risk of material cracking or stress with a blunt tip and thread forming (TRS) design, ideal for delicate plastic components.
• Full-length threading for maximum grip across the entire 1/8" length, providing consistent holding power in shallow or deep applications.
• Compliance with global environmental standards including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safe and sustainable use in regulated industries.
• Precision fit with standardized drill bit size No. 59 (0.041" diameter), facilitating quick and accurate installation without guesswork.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 00 x 1/8" TRS thread forming screw is engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly, such as strip-out, material fatigue, and inconsistent clamp load. The 18-8 stainless steel offers excellent durability against moisture and chemicals, while the Tri-Lobe shank and 51 TPI thread pitch work together to displace plastic material smoothly, forming strong, reliable threads that resist loosening under vibration. The Torx Plus drive (IP3/T3) enables higher torque application with minimal wear on tools, reducing assembly time and improving production line efficiency. Ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer goods, this screw ensures a secure, long-lasting fit without the need for additional inserts or adhesives.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a right-hand thread with a diameter of 0.047" and fully threaded length of 1/8". It adheres to standard thread forming (TRS) specifications, requiring a No. 59 drill bit (0.041" diameter) for proper installation. The product is manufactured to meet RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) compliance, ensuring it is free of restricted hazardous substances and safe for use in various industrial and consumer applications.
