S-95893A386 Length 3/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, extending service life in industrial environments
• Maximum torque transmission and reduced cam-out with T10 Torx drive for reliable, efficient installations
• Strong, permanent threads in plastic materials through TRS thread forming design that eliminates need for separate tapping
• Secure, flush-mount installations with standard flat head profile and 82° countersink angle
• Enhanced pull-out resistance with tri-lobe shank cross-section that provides superior holding power
• Full-length threading ensures consistent fastening strength across the entire 3/8" length
• Environmental compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations for safe industrial use

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 6 zinc-plated steel tapping screws are specifically engineered for plastic fastening applications where traditional threaded fasteners fail. The TRS thread forming design creates durable, permanent threads in plastic materials without creating chips or debris, eliminating the risk of material weakening. The T10 Torx drive system delivers superior torque transmission compared to conventional drives, preventing stripping during high-torque installations in automated assembly lines. With their tri-lobe shank cross-section and fully threaded 3/8" length, these screws provide exceptional resistance to vibration loosening and pull-out forces in plastic enclosures, electronic housings, and automotive plastic components. The 82° countersink angle ensures flush mounting for aesthetic finishes while maintaining structural integrity.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These thread forming screws feature a No. 6 screw size with 0.138" thread diameter and 19 threads per inch, designed for use with 1/8" drill bits in plastic materials. The fasteners maintain standard inch system measurements with right-hand threading and blunt tip configuration. Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and industrial compliance standards. The TRS thread forming method creates strong, reliable threads without additional tapping operations, providing consistent performance in plastic assembly applications.
