S-95893A191 Length 10 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior torque transmission with T8 Torx drive prevents cam-out and tool slippage during installation
• Excellent corrosion resistance provided by 18-8 stainless steel construction for long-term reliability in harsh environments
• Optimal plastic material engagement through TRS thread forming design that creates strong, permanent threads without chips
• Flush mounting capability with standard flat head profile and 90° countersink angle for clean, professional finishes
• Full-length threading ensures maximum holding power across the entire 10mm length in plastic applications
• Precision installation with recommended No. 41 drill bit (0.096") for perfect fit and reduced material stress
• Regulatory compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards for environmentally responsible manufacturing

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M3 thread forming screw delivers exceptional performance in plastic assembly applications where traditional fastening methods often fail. The TRS thread forming technology creates strong, permanent threads in plastic materials through cold forming rather than cutting, eliminating chip generation and material weakness. Made from 18-8 stainless steel, these plastic fasteners resist corrosion in demanding environments while maintaining structural integrity. The T8 Torx drive system provides superior torque transmission compared to Phillips or slotted drives, reducing installation time and preventing fastener damage. The flat head design with 90° countersink ensures flush mounting for aesthetic applications while the fully threaded configuration maximizes pull-out strength in plastic substrates commonly used in electronics enclosures, automotive components, and consumer products.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric M3 x 10mm tapping screw features standard right-hand threads with approximate 1.34 mm pitch and fully threaded shank design. The fastener meets industry standards for thread forming screws in plastic applications and complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations. Manufactured to precise dimensional tolerances with 5.5 mm head diameter and 1.8 mm head height, ensuring consistent performance and compatibility with standard 90° countersink preparations. The blunt tip design facilitates proper alignment during installation in pre-drilled holes using the recommended No. 41 drill bit (0.096") for optimal thread formation in plastic materials.
