S-95893A236 Length 16 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for humid or demanding industrial environments.
• Enhanced torque transmission and reduced cam-out thanks to the T20 Torx drive, ensuring secure fastening and extended tool life.
• Reliable thread formation in plastics with the TRS thread-forming design, creating strong, permanent threads without pre-tapping.
• Flush, low-profile installation with the standard flat head and 90° countersink angle for a smooth, finished appearance.
• Full-length gripping power due to the fully threaded design, providing maximum holding strength along the entire 16mm length.
• Simplified assembly process with compatibility for a standard No. 30 drill bit (0.1285" diameter), ensuring precise hole preparation.
• Compliance with global environmental standards including RoHS 3 and REACH, making it suitable for regulated industries and international supply chains.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M4 x 16mm thread forming screw is engineered to solve common fastening challenges in plastic components, where stripping and weak thread engagement are frequent failures. The 18-8 stainless steel material provides excellent corrosion resistance, crucial for outdoor equipment, automotive interiors, and electronic enclosures exposed to moisture. The TRS (Thread Rolling Screw) design displaces material to form strong, load-bearing threads without creating chips, preventing contamination in sensitive assemblies. Combined with the T20 Torx drive, it delivers higher torque transfer and minimizes head stripping, reducing assembly errors and maintenance costs in high-volume production lines. This makes it an ideal metric fastener for appliances, consumer electronics, and industrial machinery requiring durable, vibration-resistant connections.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw conforms to standard metric (M4) dimensions with an approximate thread pitch of 1.79mm and a right-hand thread direction. It is designed for use with a No. 30 drill bit (0.1285" diameter) and features a 90° countersink angle for proper seating. The product is manufactured to precise dimensional tolerances and is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances and suitable for global markets.
