S-92470A367 Length 16 mm DIN 7981 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.
• Efficient thread forming action creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing installation time and tooling needs.
• High torque transmission from the Phillips No. 2 drive, ensuring secure fastening and minimizing cam-out during installation.
• Excellent holding power in materials up to 0.025" thick, thanks to the coarse thread spacing and fully threaded design.
• Wide compatibility with standard M4.2 metric sizing and right-hand threading, facilitating easy integration into existing assemblies.
• Reliable performance guaranteed by DIN 7981 compliance, ensuring dimensional accuracy and consistent quality for industrial use.
• Versatile pan head design with a rounded profile provides a low-profile finish and distributes clamping force effectively.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M4.2 x 16mm Phillips Pan Head Tapping Screws are engineered to solve common challenges in sheet metal fabrication and assembly. The 18-8 Stainless Steel material offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making these screws suitable for outdoor, marine, or chemically exposed settings. Using a thread forming tapping method, they displace material to create strong, burr-free internal threads without chips, eliminating the need for separate tapping operations and reducing labor costs. The coarse thread spacing and fully threaded shank ensure maximum grip in thin-gauge metals up to 0.025", preventing loosening under vibration. Ideal for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and automotive panels, these DIN 7981 compliant screws deliver precision, durability, and ease of installation in demanding industrial applications.
