S-96817A428 Length 10 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Corrosion-resistant 18-8 stainless steel construction ensures long-term reliability in humid or demanding environments, reducing maintenance costs.
• TRS thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in plastic materials without chips, eliminating the need for tapping operations.
• Torx T20 drive system provides superior torque transmission and reduces cam-out risk for faster, more secure installations.
• Integrated flange design distributes clamping force evenly, preventing surface damage and improving joint integrity in plastic assemblies.
• Fully threaded shank maximizes grip length and pull-out resistance for enhanced holding power in plastic applications.
• Blunt tip with 1.79mm pitch ensures smooth thread engagement and reduces stress cracking in brittle plastic substrates.
• RoHS 3 and REACH compliance guarantees environmental safety and regulatory acceptance for global industrial supply chains.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M4 metric flanged tapping screws are engineered specifically for plastic assembly applications where material integrity and vibration resistance are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides excellent corrosion resistance, making these TRS thread forming screws ideal for outdoor equipment, electronic enclosures, and automotive components exposed to moisture. The Torx T20 drive enables high-torque installation without stripping, while the flange design eliminates the need for separate washers, streamlining assembly processes. The thread forming action creates precisely mated threads in plastic substrates, preventing loosening under dynamic loads and ensuring reliable performance in plastic fastening applications where traditional cutting screws might cause cracking or stress failure.
