S-96817A431 Length 14 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 T20 Torx drive design, reducing cam-out risk and tool wear during installation
• Efficient thread forming capability creates strong, permanent threads in plastic materials without chips or debris
• Integrated flange design provides wider bearing surface for improved load distribution and vibration resistance
• Precise installation control with blunt tip design that prevents material splitting in plastic applications
• Full threading along 14mm length ensures maximum grip and holding power throughout the engagement area
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for industrial safety requirements

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M4 flanged tapping screws with T20 Torx drive are engineered specifically for plastic fastening applications where reliability and material integrity are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance while the thread forming design (TRS type) creates strong, permanent threads in plastic substrates without generating chips that could contaminate sensitive assemblies. The integrated 8mm flange eliminates the need for separate washers, distributing clamping force evenly to prevent stress concentration and material deformation. The blunt tip ensures controlled penetration without splitting delicate plastic components, making these metric tapping screws ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer products where thread forming fasteners must maintain structural integrity through thermal cycling and vibration.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This M4 x 14mm fully threaded screw features standard metric dimensions with 1.79mm thread pitch and 8mm flange diameter. Manufactured to precise tolerances for consistent performance in plastic applications using recommended #45 drill bit (0.082") preparation. The thread forming (TRS) design complies with industry standards for self-tapping fasteners in thermoplastic materials. Full compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations ensures suitability for industrial and consumer applications worldwide.
