Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These DST tapping screws are specifically engineered for plastic assembly applications where reliable fastening and material integrity are critical. The 410 Stainless Steel composition provides excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation, while the thread-forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing assembly time and costs. The Phillips drive system ensures consistent installation torque, and the fully threaded shank maximizes pull-out resistance in plastic substrates. With a 0.242" thread diameter and 15 threads per inch, these screws create secure, vibration-resistant connections in thermoplastic and thermoset materials, making them ideal for automotive components, electronic enclosures, and industrial equipment where plastic-to-plastic or plastic-to-metal fastening is required.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 14 x 1" DST tapping screw features standard inch measurements with a 0.242" thread diameter and 15 threads per inch precision threading. The screw maintains Class 2A thread tolerances for consistent performance and incorporates a blunt tip design for optimal thread forming in plastic materials. Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use across global industrial markets. The pan head configuration with 0.492" diameter provides sufficient bearing surface for secure fastening applications.
