S-96817A818 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 various environments.
• Enhanced torque transmission and reduced cam-out thanks to the Torx Plus IP6 drive, providing secure fastening and minimizing tool wear.
• Efficient thread forming in plastics using the TRS design, which creates strong, reliable threads without pre-tapping, saving assembly time.
• Consistent, flush seating with the rounded pan head and standard profile, offering a neat finish and even pressure distribution.
• Full threading along the 6mm length for maximum grip and holding power in plastic materials, reducing the risk of loosening.
• Blunt tip design that minimizes damage to plastic components during installation, preserving material integrity.
• Compliance with environmental standards including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safe use in regulated industries.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M1.8 x 6mm TRS thread forming screw is engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly, such as thread stripping and material cracking. Made from durable 18-8 stainless steel, it resists corrosion and maintains strength in humid or chemical exposures. The Torx Plus IP6 drive enables high torque application with minimal slippage, crucial for precision tasks in electronics, automotive trim, and consumer goods. Its thread forming (TRS) design displaces plastic material to form robust internal threads, eliminating the need for inserts and reducing part count. The fully threaded shank and blunt tip ensure smooth insertion without pre-drilling in many cases, speeding up production while providing reliable, vibration-resistant connections in plastic applications.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric screw features a size of M1.8 with an approximate thread pitch of 0.71 mm, fully threaded design, and right-hand thread direction. It complies with standard dimensional tolerances for precision fit. The product meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances and suitable for use in environmentally conscious industries.
