S-96817A812 Length 3 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 transfer and reduced cam-out with Torx Plus IP6 drive, ensuring secure installation and minimizing tool wear.
• Reliable, vibration-resistant fastening in plastics through the thread-forming (TRS) design, which creates strong mating threads without pre-tapping.
• Full-length threading for maximum grip and holding power along the entire 3mm length in plastic assemblies.
• Streamlined installation process using a standard No. 54 drill bit (0.055"), simplifying preparation and reducing assembly time.
• Compliance with major environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring suitability for global industrial supply chains.
• Durable, rounded pan head provides a low-profile finish and resists snagging in compact plastic components.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M1.8 x 3mm thread forming screw is precision-engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly, such as material cracking and strip-out under stress. The 18-8 stainless steel offers excellent resistance to oxidation and chemical exposure, ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer goods. The Torx Plus IP6 drive delivers high torque transmission, preventing screw head damage during installation and enabling consistent clamping force. Its TRS (Thread Rolling Screw) design displaces plastic material to form precise internal threads, resulting in superior pull-out strength and vibration resistance without the need for additional inserts or adhesives, streamlining your production line and enhancing joint integrity.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric M1.8 tapping screw features a 0.71 mm thread pitch and is fully threaded with a blunt tip for controlled penetration in plastic applications. It conforms to standard dimensional tolerances for precision fit. The screw is manufactured to be RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant, meeting stringent environmental and safety regulations for industrial components.
