S-95893A172 Length 10 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh environments and long-term reliability in plastic assemblies.
• Enhanced torque transmission and reduced cam-out thanks to the T6 Torx drive, ensuring secure installation and minimizing tool slippage.
• Strong, permanent threads in plastic materials achieved through the thread forming (TRS) design, which displaces material without cutting for superior holding power.
li>Streamlined assembly with a flat head and 90° countersink allows for a flush finish, reducing snagging and improving the aesthetic of the final product.
• Consistent and reliable fastening with a fully threaded M2.2 shank and 0.98mm pitch, providing uniform grip along the entire length in plastic applications.
• Easy installation guidance with specified No. 50 drill bit (0.07"), ensuring proper hole preparation for optimal thread formation and screw performance.
• Compliance with global environmental and safety standards including RoHS 3 and REACH, making these screws suitable for regulated industries and export markets.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M2.2 thread forming screws are engineered to address common challenges in plastic fastening, such as material cracking and weak thread retention. The 18-8 stainless steel offers excellent durability and corrosion resistance, crucial for electronics, automotive components, and outdoor equipment where moisture or chemicals are present. The TRS (Thread Rolling Screw) design forms threads by compressing the plastic, which increases pull-out strength and reduces stress concentrations compared to thread-cutting alternatives. Combined with the T6 Torx drive, installers benefit from higher torque application without stripping the drive, ensuring consistent clamping force in assemblies like plastic housings, brackets, and consumer devices. This combination of material strength, drive efficiency, and thread forming technology delivers reliable, vibration-resistant joints in thermoplastic and thermoset applications.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This M2.2 x 10mm screw features a fully threaded shank with an approximate thread pitch of 0.98mm and right-hand thread direction. It is designed for use with a No. 50 drill bit (0.07" diameter) and a 90° countersink for proper seating. Manufactured to common metric standards for dimensional accuracy, it complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances and safe for industrial use.
