Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M2.2 x 4mm zinc-plated steel Torx Plus tapping screws are specifically engineered for plastic assembly applications where reliable fastening is critical. The TRS thread forming technology eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes while creating strong, permanent threads in thermoplastic materials. This prevents material stress cracking commonly associated with traditional tapping methods. The Torx Plus IP6 drive system delivers exceptional torque transfer efficiency, reducing installation time and minimizing driver bit wear in high-volume production environments. With their fully threaded design and 0.85mm pitch, these screws provide consistent clamping force throughout the engagement length, making them ideal for electronic enclosures, automotive trim components, and consumer products where vibration resistance and long-term reliability are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These metric thread forming screws feature precise M2.2 diameter with 4mm length and 0.85mm thread pitch, manufactured to exacting dimensional standards. The zinc-plated steel construction provides durable corrosion protection while maintaining mechanical strength. Compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring suitability for global industrial applications. The Torx Plus T6 drive system offers consistent engagement and meets industry drive standards for reliable performance in automated and manual assembly processes.
