• Full threading and 0.78mm pitch provide consistent grip and uniform load distribution, ideal for thin or brittle plastic materials.
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards guarantees safe, environmentally responsible use in global manufacturing applications.
• Optimized for No. 52 drill bits (0.0635" diameter), simplifying installation and reducing preparation time in plastic components.
• Right-hand threading and rounded pan head offer easy, flush-mount installation without snagging, improving assembly efficiency.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M2 x 8mm thread forming screw is engineered to address common challenges in plastic fastening, such as material cracking and loosening under vibration. The TRS (Thread Rolling Screw) design with a blunt tip displaces plastic material during installation, creating strong internal threads without cutting, which preserves structural integrity and prevents stress concentrations. Made from zinc-plated steel, it resists corrosion in humid or outdoor settings, while the Torx Plus T6 drive ensures high torque application with minimal slippage—critical for automated assembly lines. Ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer goods, this screw delivers reliable performance in plastic applications where precision and durability are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric screw adheres to standard M2 dimensions with a length of 8mm, fully threaded with a 0.78mm pitch and right-hand direction. It features a rounded pan head (3.35mm diameter, 1.6mm height) and is designed for use with a No. 52 drill bit (0.0635" diameter). Manufactured in compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it meets environmental and safety standards for industrial use.
