Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M3 thread forming screw delivers exceptional engineering value in plastic assembly applications where material integrity and vibration resistance are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance while the TRS thread forming design displaces plastic material to create strong, permanent threads without cutting or creating chips. The T8 Torx drive ensures maximum torque transmission during installation, reducing the risk of cam-out and driver slippage that can compromise assembly quality. With its fully threaded 16mm length and 1.34mm pitch, this flat head screw offers superior pull-out strength and consistent clamping force across the entire engagement length, making it ideal for electronic enclosures, automotive components, and consumer products where reliable plastic-to-plastic or plastic-to-metal fastening is required.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric thread forming screw features M3 diameter with 16mm length and standard metric threading. The flat head design incorporates a 90° countersink angle for proper seating in prepared holes. Manufactured to precise dimensional standards with fully threaded configuration and 1.34mm thread pitch for consistent performance. Compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use across global markets. Recommended drill size: No. 41 (0.096") for optimal thread formation in plastic materials.
