Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M1.2 TRS tapping screw delivers exceptional engineering value in plastic fastening applications where material integrity is paramount. The thread forming technology eliminates the risk of plastic cracking by displacing material rather than cutting it, creating stronger thread engagement with zero chip generation. The zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection while maintaining the mechanical strength required for durable assemblies. With its Torx Plus IP3 drive, engineers benefit from superior torque transfer efficiency, reducing installation time and preventing fastener damage during high-volume production. The combination of fully threaded design and rounded pan head profile ensures uniform clamping force distribution and clean aesthetic finishes in consumer electronics, automotive components, and precision instrumentation where reliable plastic thread forming is critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric tapping screw features precise M1.2 sizing with 0.51mm thread pitch and 4mm length, manufactured to exacting dimensional standards for consistent performance. The TRS thread forming design follows established engineering specifications for plastic applications, compatible with No. 62 drill bits (0.038" diameter). The fastener maintains full compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring suitability for global markets and sensitive applications where material restrictions apply.
