S-96817A415 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 humid or demanding environments
• Enhanced torque transmission and reduced cam-out thanks to the T6 Torx drive, providing secure fastening and minimizing tool slippage
• Increased holding power and stability with the integrated 5mm flange, eliminating the need for separate washers and distributing load evenly
• Optimal thread formation in plastic materials using thread forming (TRS) technology, creating strong, vibration-resistant connections without pre-tapping
• Full-length threading for maximum grip along the entire 8mm length, ensuring consistent clamping force in plastic assemblies
• Blunt tip design prevents damage to plastic components during installation, reducing the risk of cracking or material stress
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations guarantees environmental safety and meets international supply chain requirements

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M2.5 flanged tapping screw is specifically engineered for high-performance plastic fastening applications where material integrity and assembly speed are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive interiors, and outdoor equipment exposed to moisture. The thread forming (TRS) design displaces plastic material to create precise, strong threads without generating chips, eliminating cleanup and reducing installation time. Combined with the T6 Torx drive, it ensures high torque transfer for consistent seating in brittle or soft plastics, minimizing strip-outs and improving production line efficiency. The integrated flange further enhances stability, making it a reliable choice for securing panels, brackets, and components in industrial assembly environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric M2.5 x 8mm tapping screw features a fully threaded design with a 1.12mm thread pitch and right-hand thread direction. It complies with standard thread forming specifications for TRS screws and is designed for use with a 54 drill bit (0.055" diameter) in plastic materials. The product is manufactured to meet RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) compliance standards, ensuring adherence to environmental and safety regulations for industrial components.
