S-96001A056 Length 3/16" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh environments and long-term reliability in plastic assemblies.
• Enhanced torque transmission and reduced cam-out thanks to the Torx Plus IP3 drive, ensuring secure fastening and minimizing tool wear.
• Excellent thread retention in plastic through the Tri-Lobe shank design, which forms strong, durable threads without pre-tapping.
• High thread density for secure fastening with 51 TPI, providing fine adjustment and vibration resistance in delicate plastic components.
• Easy alignment and reduced material stress due to the blunt tip and pan head design, preventing cracking in plastic substrates.
• Compliance with environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safe use in global markets and electronics applications.
• Optimized for No. 59 drill bit compatibility, streamlining installation and reducing assembly time in plastic fabrication.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 00 TRS thread forming screw is engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly, such as material cracking and thread stripping. The 18-8 stainless steel offers excellent durability and resistance to corrosion, while the Tri-Lobe shank and thread forming design displace plastic material to create strong, permanent threads without chips. This minimizes the risk of failure in applications like electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer products. The Torx Plus drive ensures high torque transfer, reducing installation errors and improving production line efficiency. With a right-hand thread and fully threaded body, it provides consistent clamping force, making it a reliable choice for precision plastic fastening where vibration resistance and long-term performance are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw adheres to standard inch measurements with a thread diameter of 0.047" and length of 3/16", designed for use with a No. 59 drill bit (0.041" diameter). It features a Class 2A thread fit for general applications and complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and material restrictions are met. The thread forming (TRS) type and Torx Plus drive align with industry standards for reliable performance in plastic materials.
