S-96817A910 Length 10 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability in humid or demanding industrial environments.
• Enhanced torque transmission and reduced cam-out thanks to the Torx Plus IP10/T10 drive, allowing for higher installation speeds and fewer tool slippage incidents.
• Secure, permanent fastening in plastic materials through the thread forming (TRS) design, which creates strong threads without chips or debris.
• Consistent flush seating and even load distribution provided by the rounded pan head profile, minimizing surface damage and improving aesthetic finish.
• Full-length threading for maximum grip and pull-out resistance across the entire 10mm length, ideal for varied material thicknesses.
• Simplified installation with pre-matched drill bit guidance (No. 41 / 0.096"), reducing setup time and ensuring precise hole alignment.
• Compliance with global environmental standards including RoHS 3 and REACH, supporting sustainable and safe manufacturing practices.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M3 x 10mm Torx Plus TRS tapping screws are precision-engineered for plastic applications where vibration resistance and material integrity are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel offers excellent strength and corrosion resistance, while the thread forming (TRS) design eliminates the risk of plastic cracking or stripping by displacing material rather than cutting it. This results in robust, reusable threads ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer appliances. The Torx Plus drive (IP10/T10) ensures high torque transfer with minimal wear on tools, speeding up assembly lines and reducing maintenance costs. Combined with a fully threaded, blunt tip, these screws provide reliable performance in automated or manual fastening processes, enhancing productivity and end-product durability.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This product adheres to standard metric (M3) dimensions with an approximate thread pitch of 1.12mm, fully threaded shank, and rounded pan head design. Manufactured to precise tolerances for consistent performance in thread forming applications, it complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and material restrictions are met for industrial use.
