Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

  • Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability in various environments.
  • Enhanced torque transfer and reduced cam-out thanks to the Torx Plus IP20/T20 drive, allowing for higher installation speeds and fewer tool slips.
  • Secure, vibration-resistant fastening in plastics through thread forming (TRS) design, which creates strong mating threads without chips.
  • Consistent flush seating with a rounded pan head profile, providing a neat finish and even load distribution.
  • Full-length threading for maximum grip across the entire 12mm length, improving pull-out strength in plastic assemblies.
  • Simplified installation process using a standard No. 27 drill bit (0.144" diameter), reducing preparation time and errors.
  • Compliance with environmental and safety standards including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safe use in regulated industries.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M4.5 x 12mm Torx Plus TRS tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in plastic assembly, such as material cracking and weak thread retention. Made from 18-8 stainless steel, it offers excellent durability and resistance to rust, making it ideal for electronics, automotive components, and outdoor equipment. The thread forming (TRS) technology displaces plastic material to form precise threads, eliminating chips and reducing the risk of stress fractures. With a fully threaded design and Torx Plus drive, it ensures high clamp load and efficient installation, minimizing assembly time while providing reliable, long-lasting fastening solutions for demanding applications.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a metric M4.5 size with an approximate thread pitch of 1.63mm, fully threaded shank, and blunt tip for controlled penetration. It adheres to standard dimensional tolerances for thread forming screws and is designed for use with a No. 27 drill bit. Compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006), ensuring it meets strict environmental and safety regulations for industrial use.
