S-96817A082 Length 3 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, extending service life in industrial environments
• Enhanced torque transmission and reduced cam-out using Torx Plus IP3 drive for reliable, high-torque installations
• Secure, vibration-resistant fastening in plastics through thread forming (TRS) design that creates strong mating threads
• Consistent flush seating with standard pan head profile for uniform clamp load distribution
• Full-length threading ensures maximum grip range and holding power in plastic substrates
• Precision dimensional accuracy with M1.4 x 3mm metric sizing for exact fit in pre-drilled No. 56 holes
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for global manufacturing applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M1.4 metric tapping screws are specifically engineered for plastic assembly applications where traditional fastening methods often cause material stress or stripping. The zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection while maintaining the strength required for durable connections. The TRS thread forming design displaces plastic material rather than cutting it, creating zero clearance fit that resists loosening from vibration and thermal cycling. Combined with the Torx Plus IP3 drive system, these screws deliver exceptional torque transfer efficiency, preventing driver slippage that can damage screw heads or surrounding components. This makes them ideal for precision electronics enclosures, automotive trim components, and consumer products where reliable plastic fastening is critical to product integrity.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These metric thread forming screws feature M1.4 diameter with 3mm length and 0.57mm thread pitch for precise engagement in plastic materials. The fully threaded design with blunt tip ensures consistent performance across the entire fastener length. Manufactured to exacting dimensional standards with standard pan head profile (2.35mm diameter, 1.15mm height) and compatible with No. 56 drill bit (0.0465" diameter) for proper hole preparation. Full compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations ensures suitability for global industrial applications requiring restricted substance control.
