• Flush mounting capability with a standard flat head and 90° countersink angle, ideal for sleek, unobtrusive finishes in plastic assemblies.
• Full threading for maximum grip along the 12mm length, ensuring even load distribution and vibration resistance in plastic materials.
• Precise fit with No. 34 drill bit compatibility (0.111" diameter), simplifying installation and reducing the risk of material damage.
• Compliance with environmental standards including RoHS 3 and REACH, making it safe for use in regulated industries and global markets.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M3.5x12mm T15 Torx flat head TRS tapping screw is specifically engineered for plastic applications, where traditional fasteners may strip or fail. Made from 18-8 stainless steel, it offers excellent strength and corrosion resistance, addressing common issues like rust and degradation in humid or chemical environments. The TRS thread forming design displaces material to form precise threads, eliminating the need for pre-tapped holes and reducing assembly steps. This not only speeds up production but also minimizes stress cracking in plastics, a frequent concern in plastic assembly. With a fully threaded shank and 1.57mm pitch, it ensures secure, vibration-resistant connections in components like electronic enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer goods, enhancing durability and performance in demanding industrial settings.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a metric M3.5 size with a length of 12mm and fully threaded design for consistent engagement. It adheres to standard thread forming specifications with an approximate thread pitch of 1.57mm and is compatible with a No. 34 drill bit (0.111" diameter) and 90° countersink angle for precise installation. The product is manufactured to meet RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) compliance, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances and suitable for environmentally conscious applications.
