S-96817A500 Length 8 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 and reduced cam-out thanks to the Torx Plus IP20/T20 drive system
• Secure, vibration-resistant fastening in plastics achieved through the thread-forming (TRS) design that creates strong mating threads
• Maximum grip and holding power from the fully threaded shank, ensuring a reliable connection along the entire 8mm length
• Streamlined installation process with a standard pan head and blunt tip for easy alignment and driving
• Consistent, reliable performance backed by compliance with major environmental regulations like RoHS 3 and REACH
• Broad compatibility with pre-drilled holes using a standard No. 30 drill bit (0.1285" diameter)

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M4 x 8mm thread-forming screws are precision-engineered to solve common fastening challenges in plastic assemblies. The zinc-plated steel provides a durable, corrosion-resistant base, while the Torx Plus drive (IP20/T20) ensures high torque transfer and minimizes tool slippage and damage to the screw head. The TRS (Thread Rolling Screw) design is critical for plastic applications, as it forms rather than cuts threads. This displaces material to create a tighter, more secure fit with increased resistance to vibration loosening and superior pull-out strength compared to traditional machine screws. The 1.46 mm pitch and fully threaded M4 body guarantee maximum engagement and holding power in a compact 8mm length, making them an ideal industrial screw solution for electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer appliances.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric screw conforms to standard dimensional specifications for an M4 size with an 8mm length and 1.46mm thread pitch. The right-hand thread is fully threaded with a blunt tip. The product is manufactured to be fully RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant, meeting stringent international standards for hazardous substance restrictions and ensuring safety and reliability for global supply chains.
