S-96817A785 Length 5 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior torque transmission with Torx Plus IP3 drive, minimizing cam-out and tool wear for reliable, high-torque fastening in repetitive assembly operations.
• Excellent corrosion resistance provided by 18-8 Stainless Steel material, ensuring long-term reliability and performance in various environmental conditions.
• Secure fastening in plastic materials through the thread forming (TRS) design, which creates strong, wear-resistant threads without creating chips.
• Streamlined assembly process with a fully threaded blunt tip and standard pan head, allowing for easy starting and consistent seating in pre-drilled holes.
• Precision fit and reduced installation stress with a recommended No. 56 drill bit (0.0465"), ensuring optimal thread engagement and material integrity.
• Compliance with stringent environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, making it suitable for global markets and sensitive applications.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M1.4 thread forming screw is engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly, where material integrity and stripping are primary concerns. The TRS (Thread Rolling Screw) design displaces plastic material to form precise internal threads, eliminating chips that could cause electrical shorts or mechanical interference in sensitive components like electronics housings, automotive trim, and consumer appliances. Manufactured from 18-8 Stainless Steel, it provides inherent corrosion resistance, crucial for products exposed to humidity or varying temperatures. The Torx Plus IP3 drive offers higher torque capability and reduced slippage compared to traditional drives, increasing operator efficiency and reducing assembly defects. Its 0.57mm pitch and fully threaded 5mm length ensure maximum holding power in shallow or brittle plastics, making it a reliable choice for high-volume manufacturing where consistency and durability are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric M1.4 x 5mm screw features a right-hand thread with an approximate 0.57mm pitch and is fully threaded with a blunt tip. It has a pan head with a 2.35mm diameter and 1.15mm height, designed for use with a Torx Plus IP3 (T3) drive. The screw is intended for thread forming applications in plastics, with a recommended No. 56 drill bit (0.0465") for hole preparation. It complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it is free of restricted hazardous substances and suitable for use in regulated industries.
