• Excellent holding power in plastic materials through Tri-Lobe shank design that displaces material to create strong, permanent threads
• Streamlined installation process with fully threaded blunt tip design that eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes
• Secure environmental compliance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for global industrial applications
• Optimized for plastic assemblies with precise No. 2 diameter and 28 TPI thread pitch ensuring secure fastening without material damage
• Consistent performance with standardized pan head profile providing reliable seating and uniform clamping force

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This TRS thread forming screw delivers exceptional engineering value for plastic assembly applications where vibration resistance and material integrity are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance, while the Tri-Lobe shank cross-section and thread forming technology create permanent, high-strength threads in plastic substrates without generating chips or debris. The Torx Plus drive system (IP7/T7) ensures maximum torque transfer during installation, reducing the risk of driver slippage and head stripping that can compromise assembly quality. Engineered specifically for plastic fastening applications, this screw's blunt tip and precise 28 TPI thread profile minimize stress concentrations that can lead to cracking in delicate plastic components, making it ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer products where reliability and aesthetics matter.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This thread forming tapping screw features a No. 2 thread diameter (0.086") with 28 threads per inch in right-hand orientation, 1/2" length, and standard pan head profile with 0.167" diameter. Manufactured to precise dimensional standards for consistent performance, it requires a 5/64" (0.0781") drill bit for proper installation. The product is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use in global industrial applications.
