S-96817A520 Length 12 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior torque transmission with Torx Plus IP20 drive, reducing cam-out and tool wear for reliable installation
• Excellent corrosion resistance from zinc plating, ensuring long-term durability in industrial environments
• Strong thread-forming capability for plastic materials, creating secure, vibration-resistant assemblies without pre-tapping
• Maximum holding power through fully threaded design, providing consistent clamping force along the entire 12mm length
• Streamlined installation process with standardized M4 x 1.46mm pitch, compatible with #30 drill bits for precise fit
• Enhanced operator comfort with rounded pan head profile, allowing for flush mounting and reduced snagging
• Regulatory compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for global industrial applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M4 thread forming screws are specifically engineered for plastic fastening applications where traditional threaded fasteners may fail. The TRS (Thread Rolling Screw) design with blunt tip and fully threaded shank displaces plastic material during installation, creating stronger, more reliable threads that resist loosening under vibration and thermal cycling. The zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection while maintaining the high strength required for industrial assemblies. With Torx Plus IP20 drive system, these metric screws deliver exceptional torque transfer efficiency, minimizing installation time and reducing the risk of damaged drive heads in high-volume production environments. Ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive components, and consumer products requiring secure plastic-to-plastic or plastic-to-metal joints.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These metric tapping screws feature precise M4 x 12mm dimensions with 1.46mm thread pitch and Class 2A tolerance for consistent performance. The thread forming (TRS) design follows industry standards for plastic fastening applications, requiring no pre-tapped holes. Manufactured from zinc-plated steel with standard pan head profile and Torx Plus T20 drive compatibility. Fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use in global industrial markets.
