S-92400A150 Length 3/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior vibration resistance with the Tri-Lobe shank design that creates permanent threads in plastic materials
• Enhanced corrosion protection through zinc-plated steel construction for extended service life in industrial environments
• High-torque installation capability with external hex drive design allowing for secure fastening without stripping
• Reduced installation stress through thread forming technology that displaces material rather than removing it
• Full-length fastening strength with completely threaded shank for maximum holding power along the entire length
• Optimized plastic compatibility with No. 6 size and 19 threads per inch specifically engineered for plastic substrates
• Streamlined assembly process using standard No. 32 drill bit for precise hole preparation and efficient installation

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 6 zinc-plated steel TRS tapping screws deliver exceptional performance in plastic assembly applications where traditional fasteners fail. The thread forming technology eliminates chip formation while creating strong, permanent threads in thermoplastic and thermoset materials. The Tri-Lobe shank cross-section provides superior resistance to vibration loosening, making these external hex drive screws ideal for automotive components, electronic enclosures, and industrial equipment where plastic-to-plastic or plastic-to-metal connections require reliable, long-term fastening solutions. The blunt tip design ensures proper alignment and prevents material damage during installation.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 6 x 3/8" TRS tapping screw features precise inch system measurements with 0.138" thread diameter and 19 threads per inch. Manufactured to exacting standards for plastic fastening applications, the screw utilizes thread forming (rather than thread cutting) technology with Tri-Lobe shank design. The product is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use in industrial applications worldwide. Designed for use with No. 32 drill bit (0.116" diameter) for optimal hole preparation in plastic materials.
