• Efficient thread forming in plastic materials with TRS thread forming design, minimizing the risk of material cracking or stripping.
• Secure and flush seating achieved through the rounded pan head, offering a low-profile finish and even load distribution.
• Full threading and blunt tip for consistent grip and easy alignment, speeding up installation in high-volume production lines.
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations, ensuring environmental safety and meeting global industry standards for sustainable manufacturing.
• Precision M4 x 10mm metric sizing with a 1.46mm pitch, delivering accurate fits and repeatable performance in automated applications.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M4 zinc-plated steel tapping screws are engineered specifically for plastic applications, where traditional fasteners often cause stress fractures or poor retention. The TRS thread forming design displaces material without cutting, creating strong, vibration-resistant threads that enhance joint integrity in components like electronic housings, automotive trim, and consumer goods. With a Torx Plus drive, operators achieve higher torque efficiency and reduced tool wear, minimizing downtime in assembly processes. The rounded pan head and fully threaded shank ensure uniform clamping force, while the blunt tip prevents damage during insertion, making these screws ideal for high-speed manufacturing and repair tasks in industrial settings.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This product adheres to standard metric dimensions with an M4 screw size, 10mm length, and approximate thread pitch of 1.46mm, ensuring precise fits in pre-drilled holes (recommended drill bit size: No. 30 / 0.1285"). Manufactured from zinc-plated steel with a right-hand thread direction and fully threaded shank, it meets industry specifications for thread forming screws. Compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006), confirming adherence to environmental and safety regulations for reliable use in global supply chains.
