S-96817A787 Length 6 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 environments.
• Enhanced drive security and reduced cam-out thanks to the Torx Plus IP3 drive, allowing for higher torque application and minimizing tool slippage.
• Reliable thread forming in plastics with the TRS blunt tip design, creating strong, permanent threads without pre-tapping and reducing material stress.
• Full-length threading for maximum grip across the entire 6mm length, providing superior holding power in plastic assemblies.
• Optimized for precision assembly using a standard No. 56 drill bit (0.0465" diameter), ensuring accurate pilot holes and consistent performance.
• Broad industrial compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations, making it suitable for global supply chains and sensitive applications.
• Durable pan head design with a 2.35mm diameter, offering a low-profile, secure fastening that resists loosening under vibration.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M1.4 x 6mm Torx Plus TRS thread forming screw is engineered to solve common fastening challenges in plastic applications, such as electronic enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer devices. The 18-8 stainless steel material provides excellent resistance to oxidation and chemicals, ensuring longevity where moisture or environmental factors are a concern. The thread forming (TRS) design with a blunt tip displaces plastic material to create strong, strip-resistant threads without generating chips, eliminating the need for threaded inserts and reducing assembly steps. Combined with the Torx Plus drive, it enables high torque transfer for secure installations, minimizing the risk of head damage and improving production line efficiency. This makes it an ideal metric tapping screw for manufacturers seeking reliable, vibration-resistant fastening in lightweight materials.

Specification Summary & Compliance
