Description
Thread Rolling Screws Torx Flat Head Steel Zinc & Waxed Tri-Lobe #4-40 X 5/16 Taptite Screws Alternative are a compact, high-performance fastener designed for secure, flush installations. This Torx flat head screw uses a steel body with zinc plating and a waxed Tri-Lobe drive, delivering easy drive, strong thread-forming action, and corrosion resistance.
Key Benefits
- High-torque Torx drive with a Tri-Lobe drive for tamper resistance and smooth engagement with compatible bits.
- Thread-forming action creates robust threads without cutting, providing excellent load distribution and reduced risk of stripping.
- Steel core with zinc plating offers superior corrosion resistance in challenging environments.
- Waxed coating lowers friction for easier starts and helps prevent galling during installation.
- Low-profile flat head ensures a clean, flush appearance in thin-metal assemblies.
Specifications
- Size: #4-40 thread, 5/16 inch long.
- Material & Finish: Steel core with zinc plating; wax lubrication for smoother driving.
- Drive & Head: Torx flat head with a Tri-Lobe drive for tamper resistance and easy engagement with compatible bits.
- Thread Technology: Thread-rolling (thread-forming) action creates strong threads without cutting, improving load distribution and reducing stripping risk.
- Applications: Ideal for metal enclosures, electronics housings, appliances, and other thin-metal assemblies requiring a clean, flush appearance.
Applications & Compatibility
- Best suited for thin-metal assemblies where a secure, flush installation is desired.
- Ensure a correct pilot hole and use a compatible Torx bit with a Tri-Lobe drive for best results.
- Use as a reliable screw alternative to Taptite when self-forming threads and corrosion resistance are priorities.
Choose these screws when you need a reliable, self-forming fastener that combines a low-profile head with a secure drive and resistance to galling and corrosion.
