S-90485A476 Length 10 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for humid or demanding industrial environments
• Efficient thread forming design (TRS) creates strong, permanent threads in plastic materials without chips or debris
• Optimized for plastic assembly with blunt tip and specific No. 21 drill bit pairing to prevent material cracking and ensure precise fit
• Secure flush mounting with standard 90° flat head profile and Phillips No. 3 drive for clean finishes and reliable torque transfer
• Maximum holding power through fully threaded M5 x 10mm design with consistent 2.24mm pitch for uniform load distribution
• Regulatory compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe use in global markets and sensitive applications
• Simplified inventory management with standardized metric dimensions compatible with international assembly specifications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M5 thread forming screws deliver exceptional value in plastic component assembly where material integrity is paramount. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides excellent corrosion resistance while the TRS (Thread Rolling Screw) design displaces plastic material during installation, creating stronger threads than cut threads and eliminating chip contamination concerns. The fully threaded configuration with 2.24mm pitch ensures maximum engagement in thermoplastic applications, while the blunt tip prevents stress concentration and cracking in brittle plastics. The 90° countersink angle combined with Phillips No. 3 drive enables flush mounting in automotive trim, electronic enclosures, and consumer products where aesthetic finish matters.

Specification Summary & Compliance

Manufactured to metric standards with M5 diameter and 10mm length, these thread forming screws feature standard ISO tolerance classes for consistent performance. The flat head profile conforms to industry-standard 90° countersink specifications, while the Phillips drive system ensures compatibility with common assembly tools. Compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations guarantees environmental safety and market accessibility for industrial applications worldwide.
