Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M3 x 16mm zinc-plated steel tapping screws deliver exceptional value in plastic fastening applications where material integrity and joint reliability are critical. The thread-forming TRS design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations while creating strong, permanent threads in plastic substrates without causing stress cracking. The T8 Torx drive system provides superior torque transmission compared to traditional drives, reducing installation time and preventing damage to screw heads during high-volume assembly. Combined with the 90° countersink flat head profile, these screws sit flush with surfaces, making them ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive trim components, and consumer products where aesthetics and safety matter. The zinc-plated steel construction offers dependable corrosion protection while maintaining the strength required for durable plastic assemblies.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These metric M3 tapping screws feature a 16mm length with fully threaded right-hand thread and approximate 1.34mm pitch. The flat head design incorporates a standard profile with 90° countersink angle, requiring a 2.25mm drill bit for proper hole preparation. Manufactured as thread-forming TRS screws with blunt tip for plastic applications, these fasteners are fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring they meet current industry standards for restricted substances.
