S-96817A319 Length 10 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for extended service life in demanding environments
• Enhanced torque transmission through T8 Torx drive design, minimizing cam-out and tool slippage during installation
• Optimized plastic material engagement with thread forming (TRS) design that creates strong, permanent threads without chip removal
• Increased bearing surface from wide pan head with integrated flange for superior load distribution and material protection
• Maximum holding power achieved through full threading along the entire 10mm length for secure fastening in plastic applications
• Precision installation compatibility with recommended 54 drill bit (0.055") for optimal thread formation and pull-out resistance
• Reliable right-hand threading with consistent 1.12mm pitch for standardized installation procedures

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M2.5 metric tapping screws deliver exceptional engineering value for plastic assembly applications where material integrity is paramount. The thread forming (TRS) design eliminates the risk of plastic cracking or stress fractures by displacing material rather than cutting it, creating stronger, more reliable threads. The zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection while maintaining the mechanical strength required for industrial environments. The combination of T8 Torx drive and flanged pan head ensures secure installation with excellent torque transmission and clamping force distribution, making these screws ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive plastic components, and consumer product assemblies where vibration resistance and long-term reliability are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This M2.5 x 10mm tapping screw features metric threading with standard right-hand direction and 1.12mm approximate pitch. The screw is manufactured to precise dimensional standards with fully threaded shank and blunt tip design optimized for plastic materials. Compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations ensures these fasteners meet the strictest industrial requirements for hazardous substance restrictions and chemical safety.
