    Our most popular thread-forming screws for plastic also resist rust. Thread them directly into molded or cast holes—no inserts needed. Screws won’t crack or distort material when fastening enclosures, panels, and other plastic components. The Phillips drive handles enough torque to keep drivers from slipping and the rounded head creates a finished look.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these screws resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these screws withstand harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
    Tri-Lobe—The tri-lobular shank forms threads in thermoplastics such as polypropylene and ABS. These screws displace material to create a tight fit that resists vibration and prevents backing out. Because the shank isn’t round, the diameter will vary slightly depending on where you measure it. Also known as Plastite® screws.
    Round—The sharply angled threads drive into plastic with less force and a lower risk of cracking than other tapping screws. The base of the threads is recessed to bite deep into material and hold tight. You can reuse these screws a few times without stripping the threads. They're comparable to PT screws.

    Section

    Thread these screws into plastic without installing an insert or stripping the drive. Also known as star drive screws, these withstand more torque than screws with a slotted, Phillips, square, or hex drive. They press threads into molded or cast holes and won’t crack or distort the material. Use them to fasten plastic components, enclosures, and panels, and their rounded head creates a finished look.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    Black-Oxide Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these screws have a dark, matte coating for a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Tri-Lobe—The tri-lobular shank forms threads in thermoplastics such as polypropylene and ABS. These screws displace material to create a tight fit that resists vibration and prevents backing out. Because the shank isn’t round, the diameter will vary slightly depending on where you measure it. Also known as Plastite® screws.

    Neither moisture nor a heavy hand can damage these screws. The deep, six-lobe recess withstands even more torque than a Torx drive to prevent slipping as you install screws in plastic. They press threads into molded or cast holes and won’t crack or distort the material. Use them to fasten plastic components, enclosures, and panels. The rounded head creates a finished look.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these screws resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Tri-Lobe—The tri-lobular shank forms threads in thermoplastics such as polypropylene and ABS. These screws displace material to create a tight fit that resists vibration and prevents backing out. Because the shank isn’t round, the diameter will vary slightly depending on where you measure it. Also known as Plastite® screws.

    A heavy hand won’t strip the drive on these screws as you thread them into plastic. The deep, six-lobe recess withstands even more torque than a Torx drive. These screws press threads into molded or cast holes and won’t crack or distort the material. Use them to fasten plastic components, enclosures, and panels. The rounded head creates a finished look.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Tri-Lobe—The tri-lobular shank forms threads in thermoplastics such as polypropylene and ABS. These screws displace material to create a tight fit that resists vibration and prevents backing out. Because the shank isn’t round, the diameter will vary slightly depending on where you measure it. Also known as Plastite® screws.

    Drivers won’t slip out of these corrosion-resistant screws, which form threads in plastic to secure components with countersunk holes. Also known as star drive, the six-lobe Torx recess withstands more torque than slotted, Phillips, or hex drives. Screws press threads into molded or cast holes without cracking or distorting the material. Use them to fasten plastic components, enclosures, and panels. Their flat, beveled head sits flush in holes.
    Length is measured from the top of the head.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these screws resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Tri-Lobe—The tri-lobular shank forms threads in thermoplastics such as polypropylene and ABS. These screws displace material to create a tight fit that resists vibration and prevents backing out. Because the shank isn’t round, the diameter will vary slightly depending on where you measure it. Also known as Plastite® screws.
    Round—The sharply angled threads drive into plastic with less force and a lower risk of cracking than other tapping screws. The base of the threads is recessed to bite deep into material and hold tight. You can reuse these screws a few times without stripping the threads. They're comparable to PT screws.

    These corrosion-resistant screws thread into plastic components, enclosures, and panels with countersunk holes. The head is flat on top and beveled underneath to sit flush with surfaces. The Phillips drive handles enough torque to keep drivers from slipping.
    Length is measured from the top of the head.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these screws resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Tri-Lobe—The tri-lobular shank forms threads in thermoplastics such as polypropylene and ABS. These screws displace material to create a tight fit that resists vibration and prevents backing out. Because the shank isn’t round, the diameter will vary slightly depending on where you measure it. Also known as Plastite® screws.
    Round—The sharply angled threads drive into plastic with less force and a lower risk of cracking than other tapping screws. The base of the threads is recessed to bite deep into material and hold tight. You can reuse these screws a few times without stripping the threads. They're comparable to PT screws.

    Section

    Form threads in plastic with screws that resist stripping and rust. Also known as star drive screws, these withstand more torque than screws with a slotted, Phillips, square, or hex drive. They press threads into molded or cast holes without cracking or distorting the material. Use them to fasten plastic components, enclosures, and panels, and their rounded head creates a finished look.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    Black-Oxide 18-8 Stainless Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these screws have a dark, matte coating for a finished look. They resist rust in wet and outdoor environments but won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these screws resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Tri-Lobe—The tri-lobular shank forms threads in thermoplastics such as polypropylene and ABS. These screws displace material to create a tight fit that resists vibration and prevents backing out. Because the shank isn’t round, the diameter will vary slightly depending on where you measure it. Also known as Plastite® screws.

    Prevent drivers from slipping as you thread these screws into plastic to secure components with countersunk holes. Also known as star drive, the six-lobe Torx recess withstands more torque than slotted, Phillips, or hex drives. These screws press threads into molded or cast holes without cracking or distorting material. Use them to fasten plastic parts, enclosures, and panels; the flat, beveled head sits flush in holes.
    Length is measured from the top of the head.
    Black-Oxide Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these screws have a dark, matte coating for a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.

    These corrosion-resistant screws give you the best grip while fastening components with countersunk holes. With larger lobes than Torx drive, Torx Plus handles even more torque to prevent slipping and stripping the drive. These screws press threads into molded or cast holes, so you can fasten plastic components, enclosures, and panels without using an insert. Their flat, beveled head sits flush in the hole.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these screws resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Tri-Lobe—The tri-lobular shank forms threads in thermoplastics such as polypropylene and ABS. These screws displace material to create a tight fit that resists vibration and prevents backing out. Because the shank isn’t round, the diameter will vary slightly depending on where you measure it. Also known as Plastite® screws.
