Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 10 plastic tapping screw with TRS thread forming technology and 18-8 Stainless Steel construction addresses critical challenges in plastic assembly, such as strip-out and material stress. The Tri-Lobe shank displaces plastic material during installation, forming permanent, high-retention threads that resist loosening under vibration. The T25 Torx drive ensures maximum torque transfer, reducing installation time and tool wear in high-volume production. Ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer appliances, this self-tapping screw eliminates the need for threaded inserts, simplifying plastic fastening processes while maintaining RoHS and REACH compliance for global market acceptance.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This thread forming screw features a No. 10 size with 1/2" length, 14 threads per inch, and right-hand threading. Manufactured to precise dimensional standards with a pan head style and fully threaded Tri-Lobe shank. Compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and suitability for industrial applications requiring restricted substance control.
