S-96817A317 Length 6 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior torque transmission with T8 Torx drive prevents cam-out and reduces tool wear during installation
• Excellent corrosion resistance through zinc-plated steel construction ensures long-term reliability in various environments
• Efficient thread-forming design creates strong, permanent threads in plastic without requiring pre-tapping
• Enhanced load distribution from the wide pan head and integrated flange prevents pull-through damage
• Optimized for plastic applications with blunt tip and fully threaded shank for secure fastening without material cracking
• Precision metric sizing (M2.5 x 6mm) ensures consistent performance and interchangeability in industrial assemblies
• Regulatory compliance meets RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe use in global manufacturing applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M2.5 flanged tapping screw delivers exceptional engineering value in plastic fastening applications where material integrity is critical. The thread-forming TRS design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing assembly time and costs while creating stronger, more reliable threads that won't strip under vibration. The zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection for electronics enclosures, automotive components, and consumer products exposed to environmental factors. With its T8 Torx drive system, installers achieve higher torque values without damaging screw heads, particularly valuable in high-volume production environments. The combination of flanged design and wide pan head distributes clamping force evenly across plastic surfaces, preventing stress concentration and material deformation that can compromise product longevity.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric thread-forming tapping screw features M2.5 diameter with 6mm length and ISO-compliant thread pitch of approximately 1.12mm. Manufactured to TRS type standards for plastic applications, it requires a 0.055" (54 drill size) pilot hole for optimal performance. The screw is fully threaded with right-hand direction and features a blunt tip specifically engineered for plastic materials. Compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and unrestricted use in industrial markets.
