Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

  • Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, extending service life in industrial environments
  • Enhanced torque transmission through Torx Plus IP6 drive, reducing cam-out and tool wear during installation
  • Optimized plastic fastening with thread forming (TRS) design that creates strong, vibration-resistant threads without chips
  • Full-length threading ensures maximum grip strength and uniform stress distribution along the entire engagement length
  • Rounded pan head profile provides a low-profile finish with improved seating in plastic materials
  • Precision M1.8 metric sizing with 0.71mm thread pitch delivers exact fitment for delicate plastic assemblies
  • Environmental compliance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for global manufacturing requirements

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M1.8 thread forming screw is specifically engineered for plastic fastening applications where traditional fasteners risk material damage. The zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection while maintaining the strength needed for durable assemblies. The Torx Plus IP6 drive system addresses common installation challenges by preventing screw head stripping and enabling higher torque application compared to conventional drives. As a thread forming (TRS) screw, it displaces plastic material rather than cutting it, creating stronger internal threads that resist vibration loosening. The combination of fully threaded blunt tip design and precise 0.71mm thread pitch ensures optimal performance in delicate plastic components commonly found in electronics, automotive trim, and consumer products assembly.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric tapping screw features M1.8 diameter with 6mm length and standard ISO metric thread specifications. The thread forming (TRS) design follows industry standards for plastic fastening applications, requiring No. 54 drill bit (0.055") for proper hole preparation. Manufacturing and material compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring suitability for global industrial applications and electronic assemblies.
