S-96817A413 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 from the T8 Torx drive, reducing cam-out and tool wear for efficient installation.
• Secure fastening in plastic through thread forming design, creating strong threads without pre-tapping and minimizing material stress.
• Integrated flange design provides a larger bearing surface, distributing load evenly and preventing pull-through in softer materials.
• Blunt tip and precise 1.12mm pitch allow for smooth thread formation, reducing the risk of plastic cracking during assembly.
• Compact 5mm length and M2.5 size ideal for space-constrained applications in electronics, automotive trim, and consumer goods.
• Full compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH ensures environmental safety and meets international regulatory standards for industrial use.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M2.5 flanged tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly, such as material cracking and thread stripping. The 18-8 stainless steel offers excellent durability and resistance to oxidation, making it suitable for humid or corrosive environments. Its thread forming (TRS) design with a blunt tip displaces plastic material to form strong, reliable threads without generating chips, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of thin-walled plastic components. The T8 Torx drive ensures high torque application with minimal slippage, speeding up production lines in automotive, electronics, and appliance manufacturing. By combining a flanged head for increased clamping area and a fully threaded shank, this screw provides vibration resistance and secure fastening in plastic housings, brackets, and panels, reducing the need for additional washers and simplifying inventory.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric screw features an M2.5 size with a 5mm length, 1.12mm approximate thread pitch, and right-hand threading. It complies with standard thread forming specifications for plastic applications, including compatibility with a drill bit size of 54 (0.055" diameter). The product is fully RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant, adhering to environmental and safety regulations for industrial components.
