S-92470A312 Length 5/8" 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, eliminating the need for pre-tapped holes.
• Optimized for thin materials with a maximum drilling thickness of 0.025", providing secure fastening in sheet metal applications.
• Reliable drive engagement from the No. 3 Phillips head, reducing cam-out and enabling consistent installation torque.
• Full threading along the 5/8" length ensures maximum grip and holding power across the entire fastener engagement.
• Compliance with environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, making them suitable for global industrial supply chains.
• Standard pan head profile offers a low-profile finish with good bearing surface for secure sheet metal clamping.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 14 Phillips pan head tapping screws are engineered specifically for sheet metal fabrication where corrosion resistance and installation efficiency are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel material provides excellent protection against rust and chemical exposure, making these thread forming screws ideal for outdoor equipment, electrical enclosures, and HVAC systems. The A/AB tapping screw type with its pointed tip and fully threaded design creates precise mating threads in materials up to 0.025" thick, eliminating tapping operations and reducing assembly time. The combination of 10 threads per inch and 0.242" thread diameter ensures optimal thread engagement while the No. 3 Phillips drive provides sufficient torque transmission without stripping. These features make these sheet metal fasteners particularly valuable in high-volume production environments where reliability and speed are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This tapping screw features a No. 14 size with 5/8" length, 0.242" thread diameter, and 10 threads per inch configuration. The fastener utilizes standard inch measurements with thread forming technology (Type A/AB) for creating mating threads in base materials. Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental standards, ensuring restriction of hazardous substances. The screw is designed for use with 5.5 mm (0.2165") drill bits and achieves maximum performance in materials up to 0.025" thickness.
