S-96817A409 Length 5 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 tamper resistance from the T6 Torx drive, reducing tool slippage and assembly errors
• Secure, vibration-resistant fastening thanks to the integrated flange design that eliminates the need for separate washers
• Efficient thread forming in plastics with TRS thread design and blunt tip, minimizing material stress and cracking
• Consistent, full-length engagement due to fully threaded shank, providing uniform clamping force across plastic assemblies
• Precision fit and compatibility with standard #56 drill bits (0.0465"), ensuring easy installation in plastic components
• Environmental and regulatory compliance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe, sustainable manufacturing

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M2.2 x 5mm flanged tapping screw is engineered specifically for plastic fastening applications where material integrity is critical. The 18-8 stainless steel offers excellent resistance to oxidation and chemical exposure, while the TRS thread forming design creates strong, reliable threads in plastic substrates without pre-tapping. The T6 Torx drive provides superior torque control during installation, reducing the risk of head stripping—especially important in automated assembly lines. With a 0.98mm pitch and fully threaded configuration, it ensures maximum pull-out resistance in delicate plastic components commonly found in electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer products. The integrated 4.5mm flange distributes clamping pressure evenly, preventing stress concentration and material deformation.

Specification Summary & Compliance
