S-96817A959 Length 14 mm Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for humid or demanding industrial environments.
• Enhanced torque transmission and reduced cam-out thanks to the Torx Plus drive (IP20/T20), ensuring secure installation and longer tool life.
• Vibration-resistant, permanent fastening in plastic materials achieved through the TRS thread forming design, which creates strong threads without chips.
• Full threading along the 14 mm length provides maximum grip and uniform stress distribution for reliable assemblies.
• Rounded pan head style offers a low-profile, finished appearance and minimizes surface damage during tightening.
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations guarantees environmental safety and unrestricted use in global markets.
• Precision 1.46 mm pitch and M4 size ensures consistent performance and compatibility with standard plastic components.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M4 Torx Plus tapping screw is engineered specifically for plastic fastening applications where reliability is critical. The 18-8 stainless steel material resists rust and corrosion, making it suitable for electronics enclosures, automotive interiors, and outdoor equipment. Its TRS thread forming technology displaces plastic material to form strong, load-bearing threads, eliminating the risk of loose fittings caused by vibration. The Torx Plus drive allows for higher torque application with minimal slippage, reducing assembly time and preventing head stripping. This combination of durable materials and advanced thread design solves common issues like thread failure and part degradation in plastic assemblies, ensuring long-term performance in industrial settings.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a metric M4 size with a 14 mm length and fully threaded shank. The thread pitch is approximately 1.46 mm, and it is designed for use with a No. 30 drill bit (0.1285" diameter). It complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances and safe for various industrial applications. The thread forming (tapping) method and right-hand thread direction adhere to standard engineering practices for plastic components.
