S-92400A160 Length 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior holding power in plastic through advanced thread forming technology that creates strong, permanent threads without chips.
• Excellent corrosion resistance provided by the zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability in various environments.
• High-torque installation and removal enabled by the 1/4" external hex head, allowing for secure driver engagement and efficient assembly.
• Optimized for plastic materials with a tri-lobe shank design that reduces driving torque while maximizing resistance to pull-out and vibration loosening.
• Full 1/2" length threading ensures consistent grip and load distribution along the entire fastener length for enhanced joint integrity.
• Simplified installation process with a blunt tip and right-hand threads, designed for straightforward, precise driving into pre-drilled holes.
• Compliance with major environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, making them suitable for global industrial supply chains.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 6 zinc-plated steel TRS tapping screws are engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly, such as material cracking and stripped threads. The thread forming action displaces plastic material to create strong, clean internal threads without generating debris, which is critical in sensitive plastic applications like electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer appliances. The tri-lobe shank cross-section and external hex drive work in tandem to provide high clamp load and resistance to vibrational loosening, ensuring long-term stability. Made from durable zinc-plated steel, these screws offer a reliable, cost-effective fastening solution that maintains performance in demanding industrial environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This fastener features a No. 6 screw size with a 0.138" thread diameter and 19 threads per inch, designed for use with a No. 32 drill bit (0.116" diameter). The TRS (Thread Rolling Screw) type is fully threaded with a 1/2" length and 1/4" hex head for standard tool compatibility. Manufacturing and material compliance adhere to RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring they meet stringent environmental and safety standards for industrial components.
