S-96001A127 Length 3/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction for long-lasting performance in demanding environments
• Enhanced torque transmission through Torx Plus IP6 drive that minimizes cam-out and tool wear
• Reliable thread forming capability with TRS tri-lobe design that creates strong, permanent threads in plastic materials
• Optimized for plastic applications with precise No. 51 drill bit compatibility and 32 TPI fine threading
• Secure fastening performance with fully threaded design and pan head style for consistent clamping force
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for global market acceptance
• Streamlined installation process with blunt tip design that facilitates proper alignment in plastic assemblies

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 1 TRS tapping screw delivers exceptional engineering value in plastic fastening applications where material integrity and assembly reliability are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance while the tri-lobe shank design creates secure, vibration-resistant threads through cold forming rather than cutting, eliminating chips and debris in sensitive electronic or automotive plastic components. The Torx Plus IP6 drive system ensures maximum torque transfer with minimal operator fatigue, making it ideal for high-volume production environments. With its fully threaded configuration and 32 TPI fine threading, this screw maintains consistent holding power across the entire 3/8" length, preventing loosening in thermoplastic and thermoset applications where differential expansion can compromise joint integrity.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This precision fastener features a 0.073" thread diameter with 32 threads per inch and standard Class 2A thread tolerances for consistent performance. The TRS (Thread Rolling Screw) design follows industry-standard thread forming specifications with tri-lobe shank cross-section optimized for plastic materials. Compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring suitability for global manufacturing requirements. The screw is engineered for use with No. 51 drill bit (0.067" diameter) and features right-hand threading with blunt tip for precise installation in plastic substrates.
