S-90485A443 Length 12 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Eliminates pre-tapping requirements with TRS thread forming design that creates strong, permanent threads in plastic materials
• Superior corrosion resistance provided by 18-8 stainless steel construction for long-lasting performance in demanding environments
• Optimal plastic material compatibility with blunt tip design that prevents material splitting during installation
• Enhanced driving efficiency through No. 2 Phillips drive that ensures secure tool engagement and reduces cam-out
• Maximum holding power achieved through full threading along the entire 12mm length for superior grip in plastic applications
• Flush installation capability with standard 90° flat head profile that sits perfectly countersunk in plastic components
• Regulatory compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe use in industrial applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M3 tapping screws with TRS thread forming technology solve critical fastening challenges in plastic applications by eliminating the need for pre-tapped holes, reducing assembly time and labor costs. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance in harsh environments, while the 1.34mm thread pitch and fully threaded design ensure maximum pull-out strength in plastic materials. The Phillips flat head with standard profile allows for flush mounting in electronic enclosures, automotive plastic components, and consumer products. Engineered for reliability, these metric screws maintain consistent performance across high-volume manufacturing operations where vibration resistance and long-term durability are essential.
