S-92470A018 Length 3/16" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ensuring longevity in harsh industrial environments.
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing installation time and tooling costs.
• Optimized for thin materials with a maximum drilling thickness of 0.025", ideal for precision sheet metal assemblies.
• Secure Phillips drive engagement (No. 0 size) provides reliable torque transfer and reduces cam-out during installation.
• Fully threaded shank and pointed tip ensure quick starting and consistent holding power across the entire 3/16" length.
• High thread density (52 threads per inch) delivers superior grip and vibration resistance in lightweight metal applications.
• Compliance with environmental regulations (RoHS 3 & REACH) guarantees safe use in regulated industries and global markets.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 0 Phillips pan head tapping screws are engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal fabrication, such as material splitting and loose fasteners. The 18-8 stainless steel provides excellent resistance to oxidation and chemical exposure, making them suitable for electronics enclosures, HVAC systems, and automotive panels. The thread forming (Type A/AB) design displaces material rather than cutting it, resulting in stronger thread engagement and reduced risk of metal fatigue. Combined with the pan head profile, they offer a low-profile finish that sits flush against surfaces, ideal for applications where clearance is limited. Pre-drilling with a No. 55 drill bit (0.052" diameter) ensures precise hole alignment, minimizing installation errors and enhancing assembly efficiency in high-volume production lines.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a 0.06" thread diameter with 52 threads per inch and a 3/16" length, manufactured to standard inch system tolerances for consistent performance. The thread forming tapping method complies with industry standards for Type A/AB screws, ensuring reliable fastening in sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness. All products are RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant, meeting stringent environmental and safety regulations for industrial use.
