S-92470A150 Length 5/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh environments and long-term reliability.
• Excellent thread-forming capability with Type A design, creating strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping.
• Secure and efficient installation using a No. 2 Phillips drive, reducing cam-out and ensuring consistent torque application.
• Optimized for sheet metal applications with a pointed tip and fully threaded shank, providing maximum grip and pull-out resistance.
• Reliable performance in thin materials, designed for a maximum drilling thickness of 0.025" with recommended No. 32 drill bit.
• Compliance with environmental and safety standards, meeting RoHS 3 and REACH regulations for industrial use.
• Versatile right-hand threading ensures easy installation and compatibility with standard assembly processes.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This Type A thread forming tapping screw is engineered to solve common challenges in sheet metal fastening, such as material fatigue and loosening under vibration. The 18-8 stainless steel offers exceptional corrosion resistance, making it suitable for outdoor, marine, or chemically exposed environments. Its thread forming design displaces material to create a tight, secure fit without chips, reducing the risk of debris in sensitive assemblies. The Phillips pan head provides a low-profile, flush finish while the fully threaded body ensures uniform stress distribution. Ideal for HVAC, electronics enclosures, and automotive panels, this screw delivers reliable holding power and durability, minimizing maintenance and replacement costs in industrial settings.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw adheres to standard inch measurements with a thread diameter of 0.138" and 18 threads per inch, ensuring precise fit in sheet metal applications. It features a Class 2A thread fit for general use and is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, guaranteeing safety and environmental responsibility. Manufactured to consistent quality standards, it is recommended for use with a No. 32 drill bit (0.116" diameter) for optimal performance in materials up to 0.025" thickness.
