S-95893A195 Length 18 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for humid or demanding environments.
• Enhanced torque transmission and reduced cam-out thanks to the T8 Torx drive, ensuring secure fastening and minimal tool wear.
• Efficient thread forming for plastics with the TRS design, creating strong, reliable threads without pre-tapping and reducing assembly time.
• Flush, professional finish achieved with the standard flat head and 90° countersink angle for a smooth surface profile.
• Optimized for use with standard No. 41 drill bits, simplifying the installation process and ensuring proper hole fit.
• Full M3 x 18mm threading provides maximum grip and holding power along the entire shank length in plastic materials.
• Compliance with major environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safety and suitability for regulated industries.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M3 TRS thread forming screw is precision-engineered to solve common fastening challenges in plastic assemblies. The 18-8 stainless steel material offers excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion, which is critical for electronics enclosures, automotive interior components, and outdoor equipment exposed to the elements. The thread forming (TRS) tapping method displaces plastic material to create strong, load-bearing internal threads without generating chips, eliminating cleanup and preventing debris from interfering with sensitive components. Combined with the T8 Torx drive, installers can apply higher torque with superior control compared to Phillips or slotted drives, reducing the risk of stripping the drive or damaging the plastic boss. This makes it an invaluable metric screw for production lines where reliability, speed, and a clean, flush-mounted flat head are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw conforms to standard metric (M3) dimensions with an approximate thread pitch of 1.34 mm and a right-hand thread direction. It is fully threaded with a blunt tip and is designed for use with a No. 41 drill bit (0.096" diameter). The product is manufactured to be fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, confirming its adherence to strict environmental and safety standards for hazardous substances.
