Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These thread forming screws are specifically engineered for plastic applications where traditional fastening methods often fail. The 410 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining the necessary hardness for effective thread forming. The fully threaded design with 11 threads per inch ensures maximum engagement in plastic substrates, preventing stripping and pull-out failures common in plastic assemblies. The Phillips drive system offers reliable torque transfer during installation, while the pointed tip facilitates easy starting without damaging the material. These screws are ideal for automotive trim, electronic enclosures, and industrial plastic components where vibration resistance and long-term reliability are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 8 x 3" tapping screw features a 0.164" thread diameter with right-hand thread direction and standard inch system measurements. The screw meets industry standards for thread forming screws with proper Class 2A thread fit and is manufactured to precise dimensional tolerances. The pan head design with 0.322" head diameter and 0.115" head height provides optimal clamping force distribution. For proper installation, use the specified No. 29 drill bit (0.136" diameter) to ensure correct thread engagement and maximum holding strength in plastic materials.
