Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M1.4 metric tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly, such as strip-out and material cracking. The thread forming (TRS) design displaces plastic material to create strong, permanent threads without chips, ideal for brittle or soft polymers. Made from zinc-plated steel, it offers excellent durability and corrosion resistance, while the Torx Plus IP3 drive ensures high torque transfer with minimal slippage. Commonly used in electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer goods, this screw reduces installation time and improves joint integrity in plastic applications, supporting efficient, high-volume production lines.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a fully threaded M1.4 metric size with an approximate pitch of 0.57mm, Class 2A tolerance for consistent fit, and a blunt tip for controlled penetration. It complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) standards, ensuring adherence to environmental and safety regulations. Designed for use with a No. 56 drill bit (0.0465" diameter), it meets industry requirements for thread forming screws in plastics, providing reliable performance and regulatory assurance.
