• Enhanced torque transmission and reduced cam-out thanks to the T8 Torx drive, ensuring secure fastening and minimizing tool slippage.
• Reliable thread formation in plastic with the Tri-Lobe shank design, creating strong, durable threads without generating chips.
• Streamlined installation process with a fully threaded, blunt tip design that simplifies alignment and drives smoothly into pre-drilled holes.
• Broad compatibility and secure fit from the standard pan head and right-hand thread, suitable for a wide range of plastic assembly applications.
• Environmental regulation compliance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe, sustainable use in global markets.
• Optimized for precision assembly with a No. 2 screw size and 5/16" length, providing a compact, high-strength fastening solution.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 2 x 5/16" TRS thread forming screw is engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly, such as material cracking and weak thread retention. The 18-8 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, while the Tri-Lobe shank cross-section displaces plastic material during installation to form robust, permanent threads without creating debris. This thread forming action increases pull-out strength and vibration resistance, making it ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive components, and consumer appliances. The T8 Torx drive ensures high torque application with minimal wear, and the blunt tip facilitates easy starting in pre-drilled holes sized with a No. 48 drill bit, streamlining production and reducing assembly errors.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a thread diameter of 0.086" with 28 threads per inch and a 5/16" length, adhering to standard inch measurements. It includes a pan head with T8 Torx drive and right-hand threading. Manufactured as a TRS (Thread Rolling Screw) type for plastic applications, it complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and material sustainability.
