Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M2.2 TRS tapping screw is specifically engineered for high-performance plastic assembly applications, where traditional fasteners may strip or fail. The thread forming design with a blunt tip displaces plastic material to create robust, load-bearing internal threads, eliminating the need for inserts and reducing assembly steps. Made from zinc-plated steel, it provides excellent resistance to oxidation, ensuring long-term reliability in electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer goods. The Torx Plus IP6 drive offers superior bit engagement, allowing for higher torque application without slippage, which is critical for automated production lines and precision-driven manufacturing processes. This combination of features addresses common challenges like material cracking, thread stripping, and inconsistent clamp load, delivering a dependable metric tapping screw solution for demanding industrial environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw adheres to standard metric dimensions with an M2.2 size, 5mm length, and an approximate thread pitch of 0.85mm, ensuring precise fit and Class 2A tolerance compatibility.
