S-96817A429 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 harsh environments
• Enhanced torque transmission through T20 Torx drive design, reducing cam-out and tool slippage during installation
• Secure fastening in plastic materials using TRS thread forming technology that creates strong, vibration-resistant threads without chip removal
• Integrated flange design provides wider bearing surface for improved load distribution and eliminates need for separate washers
• Full 12mm threading ensures maximum engagement depth for reliable holding power in plastic applications
• Precision metric sizing (M4 diameter, 12mm length) with consistent manufacturing tolerances for predictable performance
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe use in regulated industries

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M4 flanged tapping screw delivers exceptional engineering value in plastic assembly applications where material integrity and joint reliability are critical. The TRS thread forming technology creates permanent, high-strength threads in plastic substrates without generating chips that could contaminate sensitive components. The T20 Torx drive system provides superior torque transmission compared to conventional drives, reducing installation damage and ensuring consistent clamping force. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, these screws maintain structural integrity in corrosive environments while the integrated flange distributes stress over a wider area, preventing plastic deformation and pull-through failures. Ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer products where vibration resistance and long-term reliability are essential.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric M4 x 12mm flanged tapping screw features standard thread tolerances for precision fit, with fully threaded shank and blunt tip design optimized for plastic applications. The screw conforms to industry-standard dimensions with 8mm flange diameter and is manufactured using thread forming technology that requires no pre-tapped holes. Compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations ensures environmental safety and material restrictions are met for global industrial applications.
