S-95893A116 Length 1/4" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior torque transmission with Torx Plus IP3 drive that reduces cam-out and tool wear for reliable, high-torque fastening in plastic assemblies.
• Excellent corrosion resistance provided by zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-term durability in various industrial environments.
• Secure, vibration-resistant fastening achieved through the Tri-Lobe shank design, which creates strong, permanent threads in plastic materials.
• Optimized for plastic applications with thread forming (TRS) technology and 42 TPI fine thread pitch, minimizing stress and preventing material cracking.
• Flush, professional finish enabled by the standard flat head with 82° countersink angle, ideal for applications requiring a smooth surface.
• Enhanced driving efficiency with fully threaded blunt tip design, allowing for easy starting and consistent installation in pre-drilled holes.
• Global compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH regulations, making these screws suitable for international markets and sensitive applications.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 0 x 1/4" zinc-plated steel TRS tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly, such as material stress and thread stripping. The thread forming (TRS) design with Tri-Lobe shank displaces plastic material to create strong, load-bearing threads without cutting, which significantly reduces the risk of cracking in brittle plastics. Combined with the Torx Plus IP3 drive, it ensures maximum torque transfer and minimizes tool slippage during high-volume production. The fine 42 TPI thread pitch provides increased holding power in softer plastics, while the zinc-plated finish offers reliable corrosion protection for electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer appliances. These features make it an ideal plastic tapping screw for automated assembly lines where precision and repeatability are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a No. 0 thread diameter (0.06") with 42 TPI right-hand threads and is fully threaded for consistent grip. The flat head design conforms to standard 82° countersink requirements, compatible with a No. 56 drill bit (0.0465" diameter) for precise installation. Manufactured to industry standards for thread forming screws in plastics, it complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and material restrictions are met for global industrial use.
