  • Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations ensures environmental safety and meets global sourcing standards.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 10-12 thread forming tapping screws are precision-engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal assembly, such as material cracking and loose fasteners. The 18-8 stainless steel provides excellent resistance to rust and oxidation, crucial for outdoor or humid conditions. The Phillips pan head design ensures a flush fit and easy drive with standard tools, while the fully threaded and pointed tip allows for quick penetration and strong retention in thin-gauge metals. Ideal for HVAC, electronics enclosures, and automotive panels, these screws eliminate the need for separate nuts or washers, streamlining production and reducing total installed cost.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This tapping screw features a No. 10-12 thread with a 0.19" diameter and right-hand direction, conforming to standard thread forming (Type A/AB) specifications for consistent performance. Dimensions include a 1/2" length, 0.373" head diameter, and compatibility with a No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter). The product is manufactured to meet RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) compliance, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances and suitable for regulated industries.
