What type of screw is this

Can anyone tell me? Need to replace a few, but cannot work out what they are called!

Thanks

Looks like a self tapping screw - possibly for plastic
It may be callled a button head

They look like Stanley Plastite screws......used for joining plastic parts (!) they need a pilot hole to use them.

Perfect, thanks guys!

Yes it is for joining plastic parts.... a heavy-handed removal man ripped the ones out of my washer / dryer stacking kit, so need to get some a bit bigger to grip.

Self tappers will do just as well, if they are big enough.
We find the original screws on plastic mower parts, often enough.
