S-96817A522 Length 14 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior torque transmission with Torx Plus IP20/T20 drive, reducing cam-out and tool wear for reliable, high-torque fastening in plastic assemblies.
• Enhanced material integrity through the thread forming (TRS) design and blunt tip, which displaces rather than cuts plastic, preventing cracking and ensuring strong, durable threads.
• Reliable corrosion resistance from the zinc-plated steel construction, offering protection in various industrial environments for long-term performance.
• Secure and flush installation with the standard pan head profile, providing a low-profile finish and good bearing surface for stable connections in plastic components.
• Optimized for plastic fastening with a 1.46mm thread pitch and fully threaded M4x14mm design, ensuring high pull-out strength and vibration resistance in plastic applications.
• Streamlined assembly process as these screws are designed for use with a standard No. 30 drill bit (0.1285"), simplifying hole preparation and reducing installation time.
• Compliance with global standards including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring they are free from hazardous substances and suitable for regulated industrial and electronic applications.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M4 x 14mm zinc-plated steel Torx Plus TRS tapping screws are engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly, such as material stress and thread stripping. The thread forming action creates strong, load-bearing threads in plastics without generating chips, which is critical for applications in electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer appliances. The Torx Plus drive (IP20/T20) ensures maximum torque transfer, minimizing the risk of screw head damage during high-speed assembly. Combined with a blunt tip and fully threaded design, these screws distribute stress evenly, preventing plastic cracking and providing reliable, long-lasting fastening in demanding industrial environments.
