S-95893A187 Length 5 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 and reduced cam-out thanks to the T8 Torx drive, ensuring secure installation and preventing tool slippage
• Strong, reliable threads in plastic materials achieved through the thread forming (TRS) design, which displaces material without cutting for superior holding power
• Flush, low-profile installation with the standard flat head and 90° countersink angle for a smooth, finished appearance
• Precision fit and consistent performance with fully threaded M3 metric sizing and a 1.34mm pitch for accurate engagement
• Simplified assembly process as these screws are designed for use with a standard No. 41 drill bit (0.096" diameter)
• Compliance with major environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring they are safe for use in regulated industries

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M3 metric tapping screws are engineered specifically for plastic fastening applications, where creating durable, high-strength threads is critical. The 18-8 stainless steel material provides excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making these TRS screws ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive components, and outdoor equipment. The thread forming design is a key advantage; it cold-forms a mating thread in the plastic, resulting in zero chip generation and a tighter, more vibration-resistant fit than thread-cutting alternatives. Combined with the T8 Torx drive, this design prevents stripping and allows for higher torque application, solving common assembly line issues of damaged screw heads and insecure joints. This makes them a reliable industrial screw solution for high-volume production environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This M3 x 5mm screw features a right-hand thread with an approximate pitch of 1.34 mm and is fully threaded for maximum grip. The screw is designed to be used with a No. 41 drill bit (0.096" diameter) and a 90° countersink. This product is manufactured to be fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, confirming its suitability for use in environmentally conscious and regulated industrial markets.
