S-90485A434 Length 14 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability in various environments
• Excellent holding power in plastic materials through TRS thread forming design, reducing the risk of stripping and loosening
• Secure and flush installation with a standard flat head profile and 90° countersink angle for a clean, professional finish
• Efficient assembly process enabled by a Phillips No. 1 drive, providing reliable torque transfer and reducing tool slippage
• Consistent thread engagement with a fully threaded M2.5 shank and 1.12mm pitch, ensuring uniform load distribution
• Reduced material stress due to the blunt tip design, minimizing cracking in plastic components during installation
• Compliance with global environmental standards including RoHS 3 and REACH, supporting sustainable manufacturing practices

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M2.5 metric tapping screws are specifically engineered for plastic assembly applications, where traditional fasteners often fail due to material brittleness or weak thread retention. The 18-8 stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance, crucial for electronics enclosures, automotive interiors, and outdoor equipment exposed to moisture. The TRS thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in plastic without cutting, which eliminates chips and reduces stress concentration. Combined with a Phillips flat head and standard 90° countersink, these screws sit flush to prevent snagging and maintain aesthetic integrity. This makes them ideal for consumer electronics, medical devices, and automotive trim where reliability and clean finishes are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This M2.5 x 14mm tapping screw features a 1.12mm thread pitch and is fully threaded with a blunt tip for safe installation in plastics. It complies with standard metric dimensions and is designed for use with a No. 45 drill bit (0.082" diameter). The product meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances and suitable for global industrial applications requiring environmental compliance.
