S-95893A356 Length 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior torque transmission with Torx Plus IP20 drive, reducing cam-out and tool wear for reliable, high-torque installations.
• Excellent corrosion resistance thanks to zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-term durability in various environments.
• Secure, vibration-resistant fastening in plastic materials due to the TRS thread forming design and Tri-Lobe shank that displaces material without creating chips.
• Flush, professional finish with a standard flat head and 82° countersink angle, providing a smooth surface and reduced risk of snagging.
• Consistent, full-length threading for uniform grip strength and reliable performance across the entire fastener length.
• Environmental compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards, meeting strict regulatory requirements for safe use.
• Optimized for plastic assembly with precise No. 21 drill bit compatibility, ensuring clean, accurate holes and reduced installation effort.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 10-14 x 1/2" zinc-plated steel TRS tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in plastic fastening, such as material cracking, stripping, and loosening under vibration. The thread forming (TRS) design and Tri-Lobe shank cross-section compress and form threads in plastic without generating debris, minimizing stress and providing superior pull-out resistance. Combined with the Torx Plus drive (IP20/T20), it ensures efficient torque transfer, reducing operator fatigue and assembly errors. Ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer products, this flat head screw offers a reliable, corrosion-resistant solution that enhances assembly speed and product longevity in plastic applications.
