S-96817A742 Length 2 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior torque transmission with Torx Plus IP3 drive, reducing cam-out and tool wear for reliable fastening in repetitive assembly operations.
• Excellent corrosion resistance from 18-8 stainless steel material, ensuring long-term durability in humid or chemically exposed environments.
• Secure thread forming design for plastic substrates, creating strong, vibration-resistant threads without pre-tapping or chip generation.
• Optimized for precision assembly with fully threaded M1.2 x 0.51mm configuration, providing maximum engagement in thin plastic sections.
• Streamlined installation process using standard No. 62 drill bits (0.038"), reducing setup time and improving production efficiency.
• Regulatory compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards, making them suitable for regulated industries and international markets.
• Enhanced operator control with blunt tip and pan head design, preventing material damage while enabling flush mounting in plastic components.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M1.2 TRS thread forming screws solve critical challenges in plastic assembly applications where traditional fasteners fail. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides essential corrosion resistance for electronics enclosures, medical devices, and outdoor equipment exposed to moisture. The Torx Plus IP3 drive system delivers exceptional torque transfer efficiency, preventing stripping in delicate plastic components while allowing higher installation speeds. As thread forming screws for plastic, they create permanent, high-retention threads through material displacement rather than cutting, eliminating chip contamination in sensitive assemblies. This fully threaded metric tapping screw design ensures maximum pull-out resistance in thin-walled plastic housings, making them ideal for compact consumer electronics, automotive trim components, and precision instrumentation where space constraints and material integrity are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This M1.2 x 0.51mm thread forming screw features precision metric thread specifications with fully threaded right-hand configuration and standard pan head profile. Manufactured to TRS thread forming standards for plastic applications, it requires No. 62 drill bit (0.038" diameter) for proper installation. The product maintains dimensional accuracy suitable for Class 2A thread tolerances and demonstrates full compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring suitability for global manufacturing requirements and restricted substance protocols.
