S-95893A179 Length 8 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction for long-lasting performance in demanding environments
• Enhanced torque transmission from the T8 Torx drive, reducing cam-out risk and tool wear during installation
• Secure fastening in plastic materials through thread forming design that creates strong, vibration-resistant threads without chips
• Flush mounting capability with standard flat head profile and 90° countersink angle for clean, professional finishes
• Precision installation guidance with specified No. 45 drill bit (0.082") for optimal hole preparation and thread formation
• Full-length thread engagement with M2.5 x 8mm fully threaded design ensuring maximum holding power
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH regulations for safe, sustainable manufacturing

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M2.5 thread forming screw delivers exceptional value in plastic assembly applications where material integrity and reliable fastening are critical. The TRS thread forming design eliminates the risk of plastic cracking or stress fractures by displacing material rather than cutting it, creating stronger threads that resist vibration loosening. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, these metric screws maintain their mechanical properties in humid or corrosive environments common in electronics enclosures, automotive components, and consumer products. The combination of T8 Torx drive and blunt tip ensures precise installation control while the 1.12mm pitch provides optimal thread engagement in various plastic densities from ABS to polycarbonate.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This flat head screw features M2.5 diameter with 8mm length and fully threaded right-hand configuration with approximate 1.12mm pitch. The thread forming tapping method follows industry standards for plastic fastening applications. Compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and restricted substance adherence. Installation requires No. 45 drill bit (0.082") with 90° countersink angle for proper seating in prepared holes.
