• Secure, vibration-resistant fastening in plastics due to the Tri-Lobe shank design, which creates strong, lasting threads
• Effortless installation and reduced material stress with thread forming (TRS) design and blunt tip, preventing plastic cracking
• Streamlined assembly process with fully threaded length and standard 82° flat head for a flush, professional finish
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards, supporting sustainable manufacturing practices
• Precision fit and compatibility with No. 15 drill bit (0.18" diameter), ensuring accurate hole preparation and optimal performance

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 10 TRS tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in plastic fastening, such as material stress and thread stripping. The thread forming (TRS) design with a Tri-Lobe shank cross-section displaces plastic material to create strong, permanent internal threads without cutting, which minimizes debris and enhances pull-out resistance. Made from 18-8 Stainless Steel, it offers reliable corrosion resistance for both indoor and mildly corrosive environments. The Torx Plus IP20 (T20) drive ensures efficient torque transfer, reducing the risk of driver slippage and damage to the screw head during high-torque applications. Combined with a standard flat head and 82° countersink, it provides a clean, flush installation ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive plastic components, and consumer appliances where appearance and structural integrity are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This fastener features a No. 10 screw size with a 0.19" thread diameter and 14 threads per inch, in a right-hand thread direction. It is fully threaded with a blunt tip and measures 1-1/2" in length. The screw complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances. Designed for use with a No. 15 drill bit (0.18" diameter), it ensures precise hole preparation for optimal performance in plastic materials.
