Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 0 x 3/16" TRS tapping screw delivers exceptional value in plastic assembly applications where material integrity and fastener reliability are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, while the tri-lobe shank design and thread forming capability eliminate the need for separate tapping operations in plastic components. The Torx Plus IP5 drive system ensures maximum torque transfer with minimal tool wear, reducing installation time and preventing damage to screw heads. Engineered specifically for plastic fastening, the screw's 42 TPI fine threading and blunt tip prevent stress concentration and material cracking, making it ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer products where appearance and structural integrity matter.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This precision tapping screw features a No. 0 thread diameter (0.06") with 42 threads per inch and 3/16" length, manufactured with Class 2A thread tolerances for consistent performance. The TRS (Thread Rolling Screw) design follows industry standards for thread forming applications in plastics. Compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and material restrictions are met for industrial use.
