S-96817A322 Length 10 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior torque transmission with T10 Torx drive prevents cam-out and reduces tool wear during installation
• Enhanced corrosion resistance through zinc-plated steel construction ensures long-term reliability in various environments
• Secure fastening in plastic materials with thread forming (TRS) technology creates strong, vibration-resistant connections without pre-tapping
• Efficient installation with fully threaded design and 1.34mm pitch provides maximum thread engagement and holding power
• Distributed load bearing through flanged pan head design prevents surface damage and improves clamping force
• Precise compatibility with standard M3 metric sizing and 10mm length ensures consistent performance across applications
• Regulatory compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards guarantees safe use in industrial and consumer products

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M3 tapping screws are specifically engineered for plastic fastening applications where traditional fasteners often fail. The thread forming technology (TRS type) creates precise mating threads in plastic materials by displacing rather than removing material, resulting in superior pull-out resistance and vibration-proof connections. The zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection while maintaining the mechanical strength required for industrial environments. The T10 Torx drive system delivers exceptional torque transmission, reducing installation time and preventing damage to both the fastener and assembly components. The flanged pan head design distributes clamping force evenly, preventing cracking in brittle plastics while the fully threaded configuration ensures maximum engagement depth for critical applications in electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer products.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These metric M3 x 10mm tapping screws feature fully threaded design with 1.34mm thread pitch and blunt tip for optimal performance in plastic materials. Manufactured to precise dimensional standards with right-hand thread direction and thread forming (TRS) technology. The screws comply with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring they meet the latest industrial compliance requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.
