S-96001A403 Length 3/16" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction for long-lasting performance in demanding environments
• Enhanced torque transmission through T10 Torx drive design, minimizing cam-out and tool slippage during installation
• Exceptional holding power in plastic materials thanks to the tri-lobe shank design that creates strong, permanent threads
• Reduced installation stress with thread forming technology that eliminates chips and prevents material cracking
• Secure fastening applications enabled by fully threaded construction and blunt tip for precise depth control
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for sustainable manufacturing practices
• Optimized plastic assembly with precise No. 37 drill bit compatibility for perfect fit and maximum retention

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 4 thread forming screw delivers exceptional engineering value in plastic assembly applications where material integrity is paramount. The TRS thread forming design with tri-lobe shank cross-section displaces plastic material rather than cutting it, creating zero chips while forming strong, permanent mating threads that resist vibration loosening. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener provides excellent corrosion resistance in challenging environments. The T10 Torx drive system ensures maximum torque transfer without cam-out issues, while the pan head design offers a low-profile finish with good bearing surface. Perfect for electronics enclosures, automotive plastic components, and consumer products requiring reliable, vibration-resistant fastening solutions.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This precision thread forming screw features a No. 4 diameter (0.112") with 20 threads per inch and 3/16" length, utilizing right-hand threading and fully threaded construction. The fastener meets industry standards for thread forming applications in plastic materials with compatible No. 37 drill bit (0.104" diameter) specifications. Manufacturing and material compliance includes full adherence to RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring responsible production and chemical safety in industrial applications.
