• Optimized for precision drilling using a No. 41 drill bit (0.096"), ensuring accurate hole preparation and reliable performance in plastic components.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M3 thread forming screws are specifically engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly, such as strip-out, material cracking, and loosening under vibration. The TRS (Thread Rolling Screw) design with a 1.12mm pitch and blunt tip displaces plastic material to form strong, clean internal threads without creating chips, reducing the risk of failure. Made from 18-8 stainless steel, they offer excellent corrosion resistance, which is crucial for electronics, automotive interiors, and outdoor equipment where moisture exposure is a concern. The Torx Plus IP10 drive ensures high torque transfer, minimizing tool slippage and enabling faster, more reliable installations in high-volume production lines. This combination of precision engineering and durable materials provides a dependable fastening solution that enhances product integrity and reduces maintenance needs.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This M3 x 1.12mm screw features a fully threaded design with a right-hand thread and blunt tip for effective thread forming in plastic. It complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety. The screw is designed for use with a No. 41 drill bit (0.096") and includes a Torx Plus IP10 (T10) drive for precise torque application, supporting efficient and compliant industrial assembly processes.
