S-96817A407 Length 8 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability in various environments
• Enhanced torque transmission and reduced cam-out thanks to the T6 Torx drive design for secure, efficient installation
• Eliminates the need for separate washers with the integrated 4mm flange, providing a larger bearing surface and preventing pull-through in plastic materials
• Reliable thread-forming capability in plastics without pre-tapping, reducing assembly time and improving joint integrity
• Optimized for plastic applications with blunt tip and fully threaded design to minimize material stress and cracking
• Compliance with environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safe use in regulated industries
• Precision metric dimensions (M2 x 8mm with 0.89mm pitch) for consistent performance and interchangeability

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M2 flanged tapping screw delivers exceptional engineering value for plastic assembly applications where material integrity and fastening reliability are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for electronics, automotive components, and outdoor equipment where environmental exposure is a concern. The TRS (Thread Rolling Screw) design with thread forming capability creates strong, permanent threads in plastic substrates without generating chips, eliminating contamination risks in sensitive assemblies. The combination of T6 Torx drive and flanged head ensures secure installation with reduced installation torque requirements while distributing clamping force evenly across the plastic surface, preventing stress concentration and material deformation that can compromise product longevity.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric tapping screw features precision M2 x 8mm dimensions with 0.89mm thread pitch and 4mm flange diameter. Manufactured to industry standards for thread forming screws with right-hand threading and fully threaded shank. The product is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use across various industrial applications. Designed for use with 0.042" (58 drill bit size) pilot holes in plastic materials for optimal performance.
