S-92470A026 Length 3/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh environments
• Efficient thread forming technology creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without chips or debris
• Optimized Phillips drive design (No. 0 size) provides secure tool engagement and reduces cam-out during installation
• 52 TPI fine thread pitch delivers enhanced holding power and vibration resistance in thin materials
• Fully threaded shank maximizes grip length and distributes stress evenly across the entire fastener
• Standard pan head profile offers low-profile installation with good bearing surface for secure fastening
• Environmental compliance assurance with RoHS 3 certification for sustainable manufacturing practices

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 18-8 stainless steel tapping screws are engineered specifically for sheet metal applications where corrosion resistance and thread integrity are critical. The thread forming design eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes while creating strong, load-bearing threads that won't strip under vibration. The Phillips drive system combined with the pan head configuration provides reliable installation in confined spaces common in electronic enclosures, HVAC systems, and automotive assemblies. The 52 TPI fine thread pattern ensures maximum thread engagement in thin gauge materials up to 0.025" thickness, preventing pull-out and maintaining joint integrity in demanding industrial environments.
