• Full threading for maximum grip along the 3/8" length, providing consistent holding power across the entire engagement area.
• Optimized for plastic applications with blunt tip and right-hand thread direction, preventing material damage and ensuring smooth insertion.
• Compliance with environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safe use in various industrial sectors.
• Precision fit with standardized dimensions such as 0.086" thread diameter and 28 TPI, guaranteeing consistent performance and interchangeability.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 2 TRS tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly, such as strip-out and material cracking. The 18-8 stainless steel offers excellent durability against corrosion, while the tri-lobe shank and thread forming design displace plastic material to form secure, permanent threads without chips. The Torx Plus drive (IP7/T7) provides higher torque capability, reducing installation time and improving operator efficiency in automated or manual settings. Ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer products, this screw ensures reliable fastening in plastic applications where vibration resistance and long-term integrity are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a thread diameter of 0.086" with approximately 28 threads per inch, fully threaded for consistent engagement. It complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety. Designed for use with a 5/64" drill bit (0.0781" diameter), it maintains precise fit in plastic substrates. The right-hand thread and blunt tip enhance usability in thread forming applications, providing reliable performance in industrial fastening scenarios.
