S-96817A704 Length 3 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability in humid or demanding industrial environments
• Enhanced torque transmission and reduced cam-out thanks to the Torx Plus IP2 drive system, minimizing tool slippage and improving assembly efficiency
• Secure thread-forming capability in plastics through the TRS design, creating strong, vibration-resistant threads without pre-tapped holes
• Optimized for plastic applications with a blunt tip that prevents material splitting while maintaining full threading for maximum holding power
• Pan head design with 1.875mm diameter provides a low-profile, aesthetically pleasing finish with excellent bearing surface for consistent clamping force
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards, making them suitable for regulated industries and global supply chains
• Precision compatibility with No. 67 drill bits (0.032" diameter) for accurate pilot hole preparation and simplified installation processes

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M1 metric thread forming screws deliver exceptional engineering value in plastic assembly applications where material integrity and fastening reliability are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides excellent resistance to oxidation and chemical exposure, while the Torx Plus TRS design ensures superior torque transfer without the stripping issues common with traditional drive systems. The fully threaded configuration with 0.44mm pitch creates maximum engagement in thermoplastic and thermoset materials, distributing stress evenly to prevent cracking or failure. The blunt tip specifically addresses common installation challenges in plastics by displacing material without cutting, resulting in tighter thread engagement and improved resistance to vibration loosening. These features make them ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive components, and medical devices where precision fastening in plastic substrates is required.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This M1 x 0.44mm metric tapping screw features standard metric threading with right-hand thread direction and fully threaded shank configuration. The screw maintains precision manufacturing tolerances consistent with industrial fastener standards for thread forming applications. Compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and regulatory adherence for global manufacturing requirements. The product is designed for use with No. 67 drill bits (0.032" diameter) for proper pilot hole preparation in plastic materials.
