• Streamlined assembly process with rounded head profile that minimizes snagging and provides clean aesthetics
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for sustainable manufacturing

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M3.5 flanged tapping screw delivers exceptional engineering value in plastic assembly applications where reliable, vibration-resistant fastening is critical. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance while the TRS thread forming technology creates strong, permanent threads in plastic substrates without creating chips or debris. The T10 Torx drive ensures maximum torque transfer during installation, reducing the risk of driver slippage and damaged screw heads. With its integrated flange, this screw eliminates the need for separate washers, simplifying inventory and reducing assembly time. The combination of fully threaded design and blunt tip allows for precise positioning and consistent clamping force, making it ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive plastic components, and consumer products where appearance and reliability matter.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric M3.5x12mm flanged tapping screw features a T10 Torx drive with 2.4mm head height and 7mm flange diameter. The screw utilizes TRS thread forming technology with right-hand threading and 1.57mm approximate pitch, designed specifically for plastic applications. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a rounded head profile, this fully threaded screw complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental standards, ensuring regulatory compliance for global manufacturing requirements.
