Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 18-8 stainless steel Torx Plus tapping screws are specifically engineered for plastic fastening applications where material integrity and corrosion resistance are critical. The TRS thread forming technology eliminates chip generation during installation, preventing stress fractures in brittle plastics while creating permanent, high-retention threads. The tri-lobe shank design displaces material radially rather than axially, reducing hoop stress in plastic components. With Torx Plus IP15 drive compatibility, these screws deliver maximum torque transfer without stripping, making them ideal for high-volume assembly lines in electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and industrial equipment where plastic fasteners must withstand vibration and environmental exposure while maintaining consistent clamp load.

Specification Summary & Compliance

Precision manufactured to exacting standards with 0.138" thread diameter and 19 threads per inch for consistent engagement in plastic substrates. Features fully threaded design with blunt tip for controlled penetration in 1/8" pre-drilled holes. Compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use in consumer and industrial applications worldwide. The 7/8" length and No. 6 screw size provide optimal fastening depth for standard plastic thicknesses while maintaining structural integrity.
