S-96817A544 Length 10 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior torque transmission with Torx Plus IP20 drive, minimizing cam-out and tool wear for reliable, high-speed assembly.
• Excellent corrosion resistance from zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-term durability in various industrial environments.
• Secure thread-forming action in plastics, creating strong, vibration-resistant threads without pre-tapping for faster installation.
• Optimized for plastic assemblies with a blunt tip and fully threaded M4.5 shank, preventing material cracking and ensuring consistent grip.
• Precise 1.63mm thread pitch delivers reliable holding power and reduces the risk of stripping in plastic substrates.
• Standard pan head design provides a low-profile, rounded finish for a neat appearance and easy driver access.
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH ensures environmental safety and meets global regulatory standards for industrial components.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M4.5 x 10mm TRS tapping screws are specifically engineered for high-performance plastic assembly applications, where traditional fasteners may cause splitting or weak thread engagement. The thread-forming design displaces material to create durable internal threads, eliminating the need for separate tapping operations and reducing assembly time. Made from zinc-plated steel, they offer reliable corrosion resistance for electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer goods. The Torx Plus IP20 drive ensures maximum torque transfer with minimal slippage, critical for automated production lines. With a fully threaded blunt tip, they distribute stress evenly, preventing plastic deformation and ensuring long-term joint integrity in demanding environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This M4.5 x 10mm metric screw features a fully threaded shank with an approximate 1.63mm thread pitch, designed for use with a No. 27 drill bit (0.144") in plastic materials. The Torx Plus T20 drive provides precise engagement, while the standard pan head offers a 7.5mm diameter and 3.35mm height. Manufactured to common industrial standards for thread-forming screws, it complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and suitability for global supply chains.
