Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 6 TRS thread forming screw delivers exceptional value in plastic assembly applications where material integrity and long-term performance are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, while the tri-lobe shank design displaces plastic material during installation to create strong, vibration-resistant threads without cutting or creating chips. The T15 Torx drive system ensures maximum torque transfer with minimal risk of stripping, making it ideal for high-volume production environments. Engineered specifically for plastic fastening, this screw eliminates the need for inserts while maintaining material structural integrity, reducing assembly time and improving overall product reliability in automotive, electronics, and consumer goods applications.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This thread forming screw features a No. 6 diameter (0.138") with 19 threads per inch and 5/16" length, designed with a standard pan head profile. The tri-lobe shank cross-section and blunt tip are optimized for plastic applications with recommended No. 32 drill bit preparation. Manufactured to industry standards for thread forming screws, this fastener is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental responsibility and chemical safety in industrial applications.
