Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M2 Torx Plus TRS tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly, such as material cracking and stripped threads. The thread forming (TRS) design displaces plastic material to create strong, permanent internal threads, eliminating the need for inserts and reducing assembly steps. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, it provides excellent resistance to oxidation and chemical exposure, ensuring long-term reliability in electronics enclosures, automotive components, and consumer appliances. The Torx Plus drive (IP6/T6) offers superior bit engagement, allowing for higher torque application and minimizing the risk of head damage during automated or manual driving, which is critical for maintaining production efficiency and reducing waste.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features an M2 x 8mm fully threaded design with a 0.78mm pitch, blunt tip, and rounded pan head (3.35mm diameter, 1.6mm height). It conforms to standard thread forming (TRS) specifications for use in plastics with a recommended No. 52 (0.0635") drill bit. The product is manufactured in compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it is free of restricted hazardous substances and suitable for industrial and commercial applications requiring environmental responsibility.
