S-92470A196 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
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing installation time
• Optimized for sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness with precise No. 29 drill bit compatibility for clean, secure installations
• Reliable Phillips No. 2 drive ensures consistent torque application and reduces cam-out during installation
• Fully threaded shank provides maximum grip and holding power across the entire fastener length
• Standard pan head design offers a low-profile finish with good bearing surface for secure fastening
• Environmental compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations for safe, sustainable operations

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These thread forming tapping screws deliver exceptional performance in sheet metal applications where vibration resistance and permanent fastening are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides excellent corrosion resistance, making these Phillips pan head screws suitable for outdoor equipment, HVAC systems, and electronic enclosures exposed to moisture. The A/AB thread forming design displaces material rather than removing it, creating stronger threads that won't strip under stress. With fully threaded shanks and right-hand threading, these fasteners ensure maximum engagement in thin materials up to 0.025" thickness, solving common challenges of pull-out and loosening in sheet metal assemblies while maintaining structural integrity.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 8 x 5/8" tapping screw features a 0.164" thread diameter with 15 threads per inch and standard Class 2A thread tolerances for consistent performance. The pan head design measures 0.322" in diameter with 0.115" head height, compatible with standard Phillips No. 2 drive tools. Manufactured to A/AB tapping screw standards for thread forming applications, these fasteners are fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring they meet current industry requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.
