• Reliable dimensional consistency with a No. 6-32 thread size (0.138" diameter, 19 TPI), providing predictable performance and interchangeability.
• Compliance with global regulations, meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe, environmentally conscious manufacturing and use.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 6-32 x 3/4" tapping screw is specifically engineered for plastic fastening applications, where traditional fasteners may strip or fail. The 410 Stainless Steel material offers excellent strength and corrosion resistance, crucial for outdoor or harsh environment assemblies. Its DST thread forming design displaces plastic material to create robust, high-stripping torque threads without chips, eliminating the need for tapped holes and reducing assembly time. The Phillips flat head with an 82° countersink ensures a smooth, flush finish, preventing snagging and improving aesthetics in consumer electronics, automotive trim, and industrial enclosures. This screw solves common issues like loosening under vibration and material cracking, providing a reliable, cost-effective solution for plastic assembly projects.
