S-96001A124 Length 1/4" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior thread forming in plastics with Tri-Lobe shank design that creates secure, vibration-resistant threads without pre-drilling in most applications
• Maximum torque transmission and reduced cam-out through Torx Plus IP6/T6 drive system, ensuring reliable installation and preventing tool slippage
• Excellent corrosion resistance provided by 18-8 Stainless Steel construction, maintaining performance in demanding environments
• Optimized for plastic materials with thread forming (TRS) design that minimizes stress cracking while creating strong, permanent threads
• Enhanced installation efficiency with fully threaded design and blunt tip for easy starting and consistent driving performance
• Reliable dimensional consistency with precise No. 1-32 thread specifications ensuring uniform performance across production runs
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for use in regulated industries and applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This Torx Plus TRS plastic tapping screw delivers exceptional engineering value for plastic assembly applications where reliability and corrosion resistance are critical. The 18-8 Stainless Steel construction provides lasting performance in environments where moisture or chemicals are present, while the Tri-Lobe shank cross-section creates strong, permanent threads in plastic materials without the need for additional inserts or adhesives. The Torx Plus drive system (IP6/T6) addresses common installation challenges by eliminating cam-out issues that can damage screw heads and compromise assembly integrity. Particularly valuable for plastic fastening applications in electronics enclosures, automotive components, and consumer products, this screw's thread forming design distributes stress evenly to prevent material cracking while maintaining consistent clamping force throughout the product lifecycle.
