• Efficient thread-forming action with TRS design creates strong, reliable threads in plastic materials without pre-tapping.
• Optimized for plastic assembly with blunt tip and standard flat head profile to prevent material cracking and ensure flush mounting.
• Secure fastening drive provided by Phillips No. 2 drive style for reliable torque transmission and reduced cam-out risk.
• Precise countersinking capability with 90° angle for clean, professional finishes in plastic components.
• Full threading along 10mm length ensures maximum grip and uniform stress distribution in plastic applications.
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for sustainable manufacturing practices.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M3.5 TRS tapping screws are specifically engineered to address common challenges in plastic fastening applications. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining sufficient hardness for thread-forming operations. The TRS thread-forming design displaces plastic material during installation, creating strong, permanent threads that resist vibration loosening and provide superior pull-out strength compared to traditional fastening methods. The combination of Phillips flat head configuration and 90° countersink angle ensures flush mounting in plastic components, eliminating protrusions while distributing clamping force evenly. These metric screws are particularly valuable in electronics enclosures, automotive plastic components, and consumer products where reliable plastic-to-plastic or plastic-to-metal connections are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These M3.5 x 10mm tapping screws feature metric threading with standard tolerances suitable for plastic assembly applications. The screws are designed for use with No. 34 drill bit (0.111" diameter) and incorporate a standard flat head profile with 90° countersink angle. Manufacturing complies with industry standards for thread-forming screws, and the products are certified RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant, ensuring they meet current environmental regulations for hazardous substance restrictions.
