Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M2.2 x 8mm TRS tapping screw delivers exceptional engineering value for plastic assembly applications where material integrity is paramount. The thread forming design eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes, reducing assembly steps while creating strong, load-bearing threads that resist pull-out forces. The zinc-plated steel construction provides necessary corrosion protection for electronic enclosures, automotive trim components, and consumer products exposed to varying environmental conditions. The Torx Plus drive system ensures maximum torque transfer without tool slippage, preventing damage to delicate plastic components during installation. This combination of precision threading and optimized drive geometry solves common plastic fastening challenges including material stress concentration, thread stripping, and inconsistent clamp load.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric thread forming screw features M2.2 diameter with 8mm length and 0.85mm approximate pitch, designed for use with No. 50 drill bit (0.07" diameter). The fastener employs TRS thread forming technology with right-hand threading and blunt tip configuration. Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring restriction of hazardous substances. The Torx Plus T6 drive interface provides consistent engagement for high-torque applications in plastic materials.
