S-92470A244 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.
• Effortless installation thanks to the pointed tip and Type A thread forming design, reducing assembly time and tool wear.
• Secure, vibration-resistant hold in sheet metal applications, with fully threaded shank ensuring maximum grip along the entire length.
• Broad compatibility with standard No. 21 drill bits (0.159" diameter), simplifying hole preparation and inventory management.
• Enhanced drive stability from the No. 2 Phillips pan head, providing a flush finish and reducing cam-out during tightening.
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards, supporting sustainable and safe manufacturing practices.
• Durable performance in thin materials up to 0.025" thickness, offering reliable fastening without pre-tapping.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This Type A thread forming tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal assembly, such as strip-out and loosening under vibration. The 18-8 stainless steel material provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, extending service life in demanding conditions like outdoor enclosures or HVAC systems. The fully threaded design and pointed tip enable quick, self-tapping installation into pre-drilled holes, minimizing operator effort and eliminating the need for separate tapping operations. With a No. 2 Phillips drive and pan head, it ensures a low-profile, secure fit that withstands dynamic loads, making it a reliable choice for industrial equipment, automotive panels, and electronic chassis where precision and durability are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a No. 10-12 thread with a diameter of 0.19" and approximately 12 threads per inch, adhering to standard inch measurements for consistent performance. It is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety. The design follows Type A thread forming specifications, suitable for use in materials up to 0.025" thickness with a recommended No. 21 drill bit, providing reliable fastening without additional threading steps.
