• Consistent fastening performance with fully threaded 28 TPI design and blunt tip for controlled penetration and reduced material stress
• Optimized for plastic assembly applications with No. 2 x 5/8" size specifically engineered for plastic fastening requirements
• Compliance with global environmental standards including RoHS 3 and REACH for use in regulated industries
• Secure rounded pan head design provides a finished appearance while maintaining good bearing surface

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 18-8 stainless steel TRS plastic tapping screws deliver exceptional engineering value in plastic assembly applications where corrosion resistance and thread reliability are critical. The Tri-Lobe shank design displaces plastic material during installation, creating permanent mating threads that resist loosening under vibration and thermal cycling. The T8 Torx drive system ensures maximum torque transfer without stripping, while the fully threaded configuration with 28 TPI provides consistent clamping force along the entire fastener length. These thread forming screws are particularly valuable in electronics enclosures, automotive plastic components, and industrial equipment where plastic fastening demands precision and durability. The combination of stainless steel material and optimized geometry makes these fasteners ideal for applications requiring repeated disassembly and reassembly without thread degradation.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These TRS plastic tapping screws feature a No. 2 thread diameter (0.086") with 28 threads per inch in right-hand direction, 5/8" length, and are designed for use with No. 48 drill bit (0.076" diameter). The fasteners maintain standard thread forming specifications with Tri-Lobe shank cross-section and blunt tip design. Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring they meet current international compliance standards for restricted substances.
