S-96817A996 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 drive security and reduced cam-out thanks to the Torx Plus IP30/T30 drive, allowing for higher torque application and preventing tool slippage.
li>Reliable thread forming in plastics with a TRS point design that creates strong, durable threads without chips, minimizing stress on the plastic material.
• Maximum holding power and vibration resistance from the fully threaded shank, ensuring a secure and permanent fastening in plastic assemblies.
• Easy and precise installation guided by a blunt tip and compatibility with a standard No. 12 (0.189") drill bit, streamlining the assembly process.
• Broad industrial compliance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH regulations, ensuring safety and environmental responsibility for global supply chains.
• Versatile pan head design with a rounded profile for a low-profile finish and good bearing surface in various plastic applications.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This M6 x 14mm Torx Plus TRS tapping screw is engineered specifically for plastic assembly challenges. The 18-8 Stainless Steel material provides excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion, which is critical in applications exposed to moisture or chemicals. The thread forming (TRS) design is a key advantage, as it displaces plastic material to form strong internal threads without creating chips that could cause electrical shorts or contamination. This thread forming action results in higher strip-to-drive ratios and superior resistance to vibrational loosening compared to traditional machine screws. Combined with the high-torque Torx Plus drive (IP30/T30), these screws ensure reliable, high-clamp-force fastening in plastic components used in automotive, electronics, and consumer goods, reducing assembly time and improving long-term product integrity.

Specification Summary & Compliance
