• Broad material compatibility for various plastic assembly applications, ensuring versatile use
• Compliance with major environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, meeting global supply chain requirements

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M3.5 x 10mm flanged tapping screw is engineered to solve common fastening challenges in plastic assembly. The 18-8 stainless steel material provides excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh conditions. The TRS thread forming technology is a key advantage, as it cold-forms strong mating threads in ductile plastics without producing swarf, reducing the risk of contamination and weak points. Combined with the T10 Torx drive, it delivers high torque transfer and minimizes tool slippage, which is critical for high-volume production lines. The integrated flange distributes clamping force over a wider area, preventing damage to soft plastic substrates and creating a more secure, vibration-resistant joint. This makes it an ideal thread forming screw for electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer appliance assemblies where durability and a clean finish are paramount.
