S-96817A894 Length 8 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 with Torx Plus IP8 drive, providing secure installation and minimizing tool slippage.
• Strong, reliable threads in plastic materials through thread forming (TRS) technology, eliminating the need for pre-tapped holes.
• Full-length threading (M2.5 x 8mm) for maximum grip and holding power across the entire fastener length in plastic assemblies.
• Rounded pan head design offers a low-profile finish and improved aesthetics while distributing clamp load effectively.
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations ensures environmental safety and meets global industrial standards.
• Precision 0.95mm thread pitch delivers fine adjustment and secure fastening in delicate plastic components.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M2.5 x 8mm Torx Plus TRS tapping screw is specifically engineered for high-performance fastening in plastic applications, where traditional screws may strip or fail. The thread forming (TRS) design displaces material to create strong, load-bearing threads without generating chips, reducing the risk of contamination in sensitive assemblies. Made from 18-8 stainless steel, it resists rust and corrosion, making it ideal for electronics, automotive interiors, and consumer goods exposed to moisture or chemicals. The Torx Plus IP8 drive ensures efficient torque application, minimizing installation errors and enhancing production line efficiency. Its fully threaded, blunt tip allows for smooth entry and consistent holding power, solving common issues like cracking or stress concentration in thermoplastics and other polymers.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw adheres to standard metric (M2.5) dimensions with an 8mm length and 0.95mm approximate thread pitch, ensuring precise fit and Class 2A tolerance for reliable performance. It meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) compliance, confirming it is free of hazardous substances and suitable for global industrial use. The thread forming (TRS) tapping method follows established engineering practices for plastic fastening, providing consistent results without additional tapping steps.
