The Self Tap Screw helps to form or tap their threads when screwed into the plastic material with either a pre-drilled or molded pilot hole. These screws do not have a pointed tip and require a pilot hole. The screw thread deforms the plastic material to flow around the screw threads. Avoid over-tightening the screws, as it may damage the material or strip the threads.Attributes:• Reduces the internal radial stresses created during the removal and deformation of plastic• Resistance to impact and vibration• Provides a larger bearing surface and helps distribute the load more evenlyApplications:The Self Tap Screw is used to place the dashboard panel in position in the cabin and eliminates the need for pre-drilling pilot holes and makes the installation process more efficient.
