S-92470A205 Length 2" 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 design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing installation time and tooling costs.
• High holding power from the 15 TPI fully threaded design, providing excellent pull-out resistance in thin materials up to 0.025" thickness.
• Optimized for sheet metal applications with precise No. 8 size and pointed tip for easy starting and reduced material displacement.
• Secure Phillips drive engagement with No. 2 drive size prevents cam-out and ensures consistent torque application during installation.
• Compliance with global environmental standards including RoHS 3 and REACH, making them suitable for regulated industries and export markets.
• Standard pan head profile offers a balanced combination of low profile and good bearing surface for reliable clamping force.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 18-8 stainless steel tapping screws deliver exceptional value in sheet metal assembly applications where corrosion resistance and installation efficiency are critical. The thread forming technology eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing labor costs and potential cross-threading issues in production lines. With their fully threaded design and precise 0.164" diameter, these screws provide maximum thread engagement in thin materials, preventing stripping and ensuring vibration resistance. The Phillips pan head configuration allows for flush installation while maintaining sufficient drive torque capacity. Ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and automotive components, these A/AB type screws offer reliable performance where material thickness variations demand consistent fastening solutions.
