About Thread Forming Screws for Plastics

Thread forming screws are designed specifically for plastics. Rather than cutting, they displace the material to form a mating thread, which lowers the stress in the boss and reduces the risk of cracking. The thread profile gives strong resistance to vibration loosening and allows the joint to be reassembled. Where an insert isn't needed, they're a cost-effective fixing.
