S-92470A102 Length 7/16" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction for long-lasting performance in harsh industrial environments
• Excellent thread-forming capability with A/AB type design creates secure, vibration-resistant fastenings in sheet metal without pre-tapping
• Optimized drive efficiency through Phillips No. 1 drive style ensures reliable torque transfer and reduces cam-out during installation
• Maximum material engagement with fully threaded 32 TPI design and pointed tip for superior pull-out resistance in thin materials
• Enhanced head design with standard pan profile provides good bearing surface while maintaining low-profile appearance
• Precision drilling compatibility with No. 48 drill bit (0.076" diameter) for clean hole preparation in materials up to 0.025" thickness
• Regulatory compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for environmentally responsible manufacturing and workplace safety

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 18-8 stainless steel tapping screw delivers exceptional value in sheet metal applications where corrosion resistance and reliable fastening are critical. The thread forming design with 32 TPI creates strong, permanent threads in pre-drilled holes, eliminating the need for separate tapping operations and reducing assembly time. The Phillips drive system provides familiar, efficient installation while the fully threaded configuration ensures maximum engagement throughout the material thickness. Particularly valuable in HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and automotive components, these A/AB type screws maintain integrity in vibration-prone environments while the rounded pan head offers both aesthetic appeal and functional bearing surface. The combination of corrosion-resistant 18-8 stainless steel and precision threading makes these fasteners ideal for applications requiring repeated disassembly and reassembly without thread degradation.
