S-92470A317 Length 1 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping
• Optimized Phillips drive (No. 3 size) provides secure tool engagement and reduces cam-out during installation
• Full threading along the entire 1-1/2" length ensures maximum grip and holding power
• Precision-matched drill compatibility (0.2165" diameter) for clean installations in materials up to 0.025" thick
• Standard pan head profile offers excellent bearing surface while maintaining low-profile appearance
• Environmental compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards for sustainable manufacturing operations

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 14 thread forming screws deliver exceptional performance in sheet metal applications where vibration resistance and material integrity are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides outstanding corrosion resistance, making these Phillips pan head screws suitable for outdoor equipment, HVAC systems, and electronic enclosures exposed to moisture. The thread forming technology (Type A/AB) displaces material rather than removing it, creating stronger threads with improved fatigue resistance compared to traditional cutting screws. This design prevents metal chips from contaminating sensitive components while maintaining the structural integrity of thin-gauge materials. The combination of 10 threads per inch and 0.242" thread diameter ensures optimal load distribution, reducing the risk of material stripping in repetitive assembly operations.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These tapping screws feature precision right-hand threads with standard inch measurements, including a 1-1/2" length and 0.476" head diameter. Manufactured to industry standards for thread forming sheet metal screws, they comply with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations. The fully threaded design and pointed tip facilitate easy starting and consistent installation depth across production runs.
