S-95893A188 Length 6 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Enhanced corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction for long-lasting performance in various environments
• Superior torque transmission and reduced cam-out thanks to the T8 Torx drive design
• Eliminates the need for separate tapping operations through efficient thread-forming technology, saving assembly time and cost
• Secure, flush-mounting installation with the standard 90° flat head profile for a clean finish in plastic components
• Reliable fastening in plastic materials with the blunt tip and fully threaded M3 design for strong, consistent holding power
• Compliance with major environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safety and suitability for industrial use
• Precision metric sizing (6mm length, 1.34mm pitch) for accurate fit and repeatable performance in metric-based designs

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M3 metric tapping screws are specifically engineered for plastic applications, where traditional fasteners may strip threads or cause material stress. The 18-8 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive interiors, and outdoor equipment. The thread-forming (TRS) design creates strong, permanent threads in plastic without pre-tapping, reducing assembly steps and minimizing part failure. Combined with the T8 Torx drive, these screws provide high torque transfer, preventing driver slippage and ensuring consistent seating in high-volume production. This makes them a reliable choice for industrial fastening where durability, efficiency, and regulatory compliance are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This product features metric (M3) sizing with a 6mm length and 1.34mm approximate thread pitch, designed for use with a No. 41 drill bit (0.096" diameter). The flat head has a standard profile with a 90° countersink angle, and the screw is fully threaded with a blunt tip for thread-forming installation in plastics. It complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it meets environmental and safety standards for industrial components.
