S-96817A408 Length 4 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction for long-lasting performance in demanding environments
• Enhanced torque transmission and reduced cam-out thanks to the T6 Torx drive system for secure, efficient installation
• Eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes with thread forming (TRS) technology, creating strong, permanent threads in plastic materials
• Increased load distribution and component stability from the integrated 4.5mm flange, preventing pull-through and loosening
• Full-length thread engagement ensures maximum holding power and vibration resistance across the entire 4mm length
• Simplified installation process with a blunt tip design that aligns easily and reduces the risk of material damage
• Compliance with strict environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH for safe, sustainable use in global markets

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M2.2 flanged tapping screw is engineered specifically for high-performance plastic assembly applications, where traditional fasteners often fail. The 18-8 stainless steel provides excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation, critical in electronics, automotive, and outdoor equipment. The TRS thread forming design displaces plastic material to create strong, strip-resistant threads without generating chips, eliminating cleanup and ensuring a perfect seal. Combined with the T6 Torx drive, it delivers superior torque transfer, preventing tool slippage and head stripping during high-speed assembly. The flanged head distributes clamping force evenly, protecting delicate plastic components from stress cracks and deformation, making it ideal for securing housings, panels, and internal structures in consumer electronics and industrial enclosures.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric thread forming screw features a M2.2 diameter with an approximate thread pitch of 0.98mm and a 4mm fully threaded length. It has a standard right-hand thread direction and is designed for use with a drill bit size #56 (0.0465"). The screw is manufactured to precise dimensional standards for reliable performance. It is fully RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant, meeting the latest environmental and safety regulations for hazardous substances.
