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 requiring pre-tapped holes
- Optimized Phillips drive system (No. 3 size) provides secure tool engagement and reduces cam-out during installation
- Full threading along the entire 3/8" length delivers maximum grip and load distribution in thin materials
- Standard pan head profile offers excellent bearing surface and clean aesthetic finish for visible applications
- Environmental compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards for sustainable manufacturing practices
- Precision-engineered dimensions including 0.216" thread diameter and 11 TPI for consistent performance in 0.025" maximum thickness materials
Professional Applications & Engineering Value
These thread forming tapping screws are specifically engineered for sheet metal applications where traditional fastening methods fall short. The 18-8 Stainless Steel composition provides exceptional resistance to oxidation and chemical exposure, making these Phillips pan head screws ideal for outdoor equipment, HVAC systems, and electronic enclosures. The A/AB thread forming technology eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing assembly time and labor costs while creating stronger thread engagement than cutting screws. The fully threaded design ensures maximum pull-out resistance in thin-gauge materials up to 0.025" thickness, preventing loosening under vibration and thermal cycling conditions common in industrial environments.
Specification Summary & Compliance
This No. 12 x 3/8" tapping screw features precision right-hand threads with 11 threads per inch and 0.216" thread diameter, designed for use with standard 3/16" (0.1875") drill bits. The fastener meets industry standards for thread forming applications in sheet metal and complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use in regulated industries and international markets.
