• Secure thread forming design that creates strong, permanent threads in plastic materials without pre-tapping, minimizing assembly time.
• Full threading along the 6mm length provides maximum grip and uniform stress distribution for stable plastic component connections.
• Standard pan head profile offers a low-profile finish with good bearing surface for consistent clamping force.
• Precision M2.5 metric sizing with 0.95mm pitch ensures accurate fit and compatibility with standard plastic components.
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations guarantees safe, environmentally responsible use in global manufacturing applications.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M2.5 tapping screw is specifically engineered for plastic applications where reliable fastening and material integrity are critical. The thread forming TRS design displaces plastic material during installation, creating strong, strip-resistant threads without generating chips that could interfere with electronic components. Made from zinc-plated steel, it provides excellent corrosion protection in humid or demanding environments, while the Torx Plus IP8 drive delivers superior torque transfer, preventing screw head damage during high-speed assembly. Ideal for automotive trim, consumer electronics, and appliance manufacturing, this fully threaded screw ensures vibration resistance and long-term performance in plastic assemblies, reducing maintenance needs and production downtime.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric M2.5 x 6mm tapping screw features a fully threaded design with 0.95mm approximate pitch and blunt tip for controlled penetration in plastics. Manufactured to precise dimensional standards with a pan head style and 4.25mm head diameter, it ensures consistent performance in automated assembly systems. The product complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, meeting international environmental and safety requirements for industrial components used in plastic fastening applications.
