S-95893A321 Length 1/4" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Enhanced corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for reliable performance in demanding environments.
• Superior torque transfer and reduced tool slippage thanks to the Torx Plus IP15 drive system, ensuring efficient installation.
• Exceptional holding power in plastic materials achieved through the TRS thread-forming design and Tri-Lobe shank, minimizing stripping and back-out.
• Streamlined installation process with a standard 82° flat head that sits flush and a blunt tip for easy alignment without pre-drilling in many plastics.
• Wide industrial compatibility with a No. 8 screw size, 1/4" length, and 16 TPI thread pitch, meeting common assembly requirements.
• Reliable regulatory compliance adhering to RoHS 3 and REACH standards, ensuring safety and environmental responsibility.
• Optimized for use with standard tooling, including a No. 29 drill bit (0.136" diameter) for precise hole preparation.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 8 zinc-plated steel TRS tapping screw is engineered to solve common fastening challenges in plastic assemblies. The thread-forming Tri-Lobe shank design displaces material to create strong, permanent threads without chips, reducing the risk of failure in vibration-prone applications. The Torx Plus IP15 drive allows for higher torque application compared to traditional drives, minimizing cam-out and tool wear, which is critical for high-volume production lines. The zinc plating provides a protective barrier against corrosion, extending the screw's service life in various industrial settings. Fully threaded and featuring a right-hand direction, it ensures maximum grip and pull-out resistance, making it an ideal industrial fastener for electronics enclosures, automotive components, and consumer products where reliability is paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance
