Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M4.8 x 38mm Phillips pan head tapping screws deliver exceptional engineering value in sheet metal fabrication and assembly operations. The thread forming tapping method eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, significantly reducing installation time and labor costs while creating strong, permanent threads in metal substrates. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, these screws provide reliable corrosion resistance in demanding industrial environments, from outdoor equipment to manufacturing facilities with exposure to moisture and chemicals. The combination of coarse thread spacing and fully threaded design ensures maximum engagement with thin sheet materials, preventing stripping and maintaining clamping force under vibration and dynamic loads common in automotive, HVAC, and electronic enclosure applications.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric tapping screw features precise M4.8 diameter with 38mm length and standard right-hand thread direction. Manufactured to DIN 7981 specifications, it ensures dimensional accuracy and performance reliability. The pan head profile with Phillips No. 2 drive provides optimal bearing surface while the thread forming design creates secure fastening in sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness. Compliant with international fastener standards, this product meets RoHS and REACH environmental requirements for industrial use.
