S-92470A152 Length 7/8" 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.
• Optimized for sheet metal applications, with a pointed tip and fully threaded shank ensuring quick starts and maximum holding power.
• Secure and efficient driving using a No. 2 Phillips drive, reducing cam-out and enabling high-torque installation.
• Durable pan head design with a standard rounded profile for a low-profile finish and increased bearing surface.
• Environmental compliance assurance, meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe, sustainable use in regulated industries.
• Precision fit and reduced preparation time, designed for use with a No. 32 drill bit (0.116" diameter) in materials up to 0.025" thick.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This thread forming tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal fabrication, 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 settings. Its Type A thread forming design displaces material to form strong, clean threads without chips, reducing the risk of debris in sensitive assemblies. The fully threaded body and pointed tip ensure rapid penetration and uniform stress distribution, enhancing joint integrity in industrial equipment, HVAC systems, and electronic enclosures. The Phillips pan head provides a flush finish and reliable drive performance, streamlining installation in high-volume production environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw adheres to standard inch measurements with a No. 6-18 thread size (0.138" diameter, 18 TPI) and 7/8" length, ensuring precise fit in sheet metal applications. It features a right-hand thread direction and fully threaded shank for consistent engagement. Compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006), confirming it is free of restricted substances and safe for various industrial uses. Designed for use with a No. 32 drill bit (0.116" diameter), it supports efficient installation in materials up to 0.025" thick, aligning with common thread forming practices.
