• Reliable thread forming in plastics with a blunt tip and TRS style, minimizing material stress and preventing cracking during assembly.
• Enhanced holding power from the fully threaded M2 design and 0.89 mm pitch, providing secure, vibration-resistant connections.
• Wide pan head with integrated flange offers a larger bearing surface for improved load distribution and simplified alignment.
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards ensures environmental safety and meets global regulatory requirements for B2B applications.
• Optimized for plastic materials with a recommended 0.042" drill bit size, facilitating quick and accurate installations without pre-tapping.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M2 tapping screws are engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly, such as strip-out and material fatigue. The zinc-plated steel material provides excellent resistance to oxidation, while the thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in thermoplastics and other polymers without chips. The T6 Torx drive ensures high torque transfer, reducing tool slippage and improving assembly speed in automated or manual processes. Ideal for electronics, automotive components, and consumer goods, these flanged screws with a wide pan head distribute clamp load evenly, preventing surface damage and enhancing joint integrity in plastic applications.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This M2 x 8mm screw features a fully threaded design with an approximate pitch of 0.89 mm, right-hand thread direction, and blunt tip for thread forming in plastics. It complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring adherence to environmental and safety standards. The screw is designed for use with a 0.042" drill bit and includes a 4 mm flange diameter and pan head style for consistent performance in industrial settings.
