S-96001A329 Length 1" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 Stainless Steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding environments.
• Enhanced torque transmission and reduced cam-out with the Torx Plus IP20 drive, providing secure fastening and minimizing tool wear.
• Excellent holding power in plastic materials due to the Tri-Lobe shank design, which creates strong, vibration-resistant threads without pre-tapping.
• Streamlined installation process with a matching No. 23 drill bit (0.154" diameter), ensuring precise hole preparation and optimal thread engagement.
• Consistent, reliable fastening with a fully threaded #8 (0.164" diameter) right-hand design and 16 TPI, delivering uniform clamping force.
• Broad industrial compliance, meeting RoHS 3 and REACH regulations for safe, environmentally responsible use in global supply chains.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This TRS thread forming screw is engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly, such as material cracking and stripped threads. The Tri-Lobe shank cross-section displaces plastic material during installation, forming robust, permanent threads that resist loosening under vibration and thermal cycling. Manufactured from 18-8 Stainless Steel, it offers excellent resistance to oxidation and chemical exposure, making it ideal for outdoor enclosures, automotive components, and electronic housings. The Torx Plus drive system ensures high torque transfer, reducing the risk of driver slippage and damage to the screw head, which is critical for automated assembly lines and high-volume production. Its blunt tip and fully threaded design provide consistent engagement depth, enhancing joint integrity in various plastic substrates.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw adheres to standard inch measurements with a #8 thread diameter (0.164") and 16 TPI, ensuring compatibility with common industrial specifications. The Torx Plus IP20 drive and 1" length provide precise, repeatable installation. It is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, guaranteeing that it meets stringent environmental and safety standards for use in professional and industrial applications worldwide.
