S-92470A239 Length 1/4" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction for long-lasting performance in demanding environments
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing installation time
• Optimized for 0.025" maximum thickness materials with precise pointed tip for easy penetration and secure fastening
• Reliable Phillips No. 2 drive system provides excellent torque transfer and prevents cam-out during installation
• Fully threaded shank ensures maximum grip length and uniform stress distribution across the entire fastener
• Standard pan head profile offers low-profile installation with good bearing surface for secure sheet metal connections
• Environmental compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations for safe, sustainable industrial use

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 18-8 stainless steel tapping screws are specifically engineered for sheet metal applications where corrosion resistance and installation efficiency are critical. The thread forming technology eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, creating strong, vibration-resistant threads that won't loosen under stress. The fully threaded design and pointed tip ensure quick starts and smooth penetration into materials up to 0.025" thickness, making them ideal for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and automotive components. The Phillips pan head provides a clean, low-profile finish while the No. 2 drive size delivers reliable torque transmission without stripping. These tapping screws solve common fastening challenges in thin-gauge materials by combining material strength with precision engineering for durable, long-term performance.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 10-12 x 1/4" tapping screw features precise inch system dimensions including 0.19" thread diameter with 12 threads per inch, fully threaded right-hand configuration, and standard pan head profile. Manufactured to thread forming standards (Type A/AB) for sheet metal applications, it requires No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter) for proper installation. The fastener demonstrates full compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use across industrial sectors while maintaining consistent dimensional accuracy for reliable performance.
