S-96817A992 Length 12 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 environments.
• High-torque driving capability via the Torx Plus IP30/T30 drive, reducing cam-out and tool wear for efficient assembly.
• Eliminates need for pre-tapped holes with thread forming (TRS) design, saving time and reducing installation costs in plastic components.
• Secure, vibration-resistant fastening thanks to the fully threaded M6 metric size with 2.14mm pitch, providing consistent holding power.
• Easy alignment and flush mounting with a rounded pan head profile, minimizing snagging and improving finished appearance.
• Compliance with strict environmental regulations, including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safe use in global industrial supply chains.
• Optimized for plastic materials with a blunt tip and thread forming method, reducing stress cracking and material damage during installation.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M6 Torx Plus TRS tapping screw is precision-engineered for plastic assembly applications where reliability and speed are critical. The 18-8 Stainless Steel material offers excellent resistance to oxidation and chemicals, making it ideal for outdoor equipment, electronic enclosures, and automotive interiors. The thread forming (TRS) technology displaces plastic material to create strong, load-bearing threads without chips, eliminating the need for secondary tapping and reducing assembly steps. Combined with the Torx Plus IP30/T30 drive, it ensures maximum torque transfer and minimizes stripping, providing consistent performance in high-volume production lines. This screw is specifically designed to prevent plastic cracking and maintain joint integrity under vibration, delivering long-term engineering value in demanding environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features an M6 metric size with a 2.14mm approximate thread pitch and 12mm length, fully threaded for uniform load distribution. It complies with standard thread forming (TRS) specifications for plastic, requiring a No. 12 drill bit (0.189" diameter) for proper installation. The product meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) compliance, ensuring it is free of restricted substances and suitable for use in regulated industries.
