S-96817A417 Length 12 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 through T8 Torx drive, reducing cam-out and tool slippage during installation
• Eliminates the need for separate washers with integrated 5mm flange design, saving assembly time and reducing component count
• Secure, vibration-resistant fastening in plastic materials using TRS thread forming technology that creates strong mating threads
• Complete thread engagement with fully threaded 12mm length for maximum holding power across the entire fastener
• Optimized for plastic applications with 1.12mm thread pitch providing ideal balance between engagement strength and material integrity
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for global manufacturing requirements

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M2.5 flanged tapping screw delivers exceptional engineering value in plastic assembly applications where reliability is critical. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, while the TRS thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in plastic substrates without generating chips. The T8 Torx drive ensures high torque transmission with minimal risk of stripping, making it ideal for automated assembly processes. The integrated flange distributes clamping force evenly, preventing damage to delicate plastic components. These metric thread forming screws are particularly valuable in electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer products where vibration resistance and long-term performance are essential requirements.

Specification Summary & Compliance
