S-92470A391 Length 1 1/4" 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 design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing installation time and tooling.
• Optimized for sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness, ensuring secure fastening in thin materials with minimal risk of stripping or material damage.
• Reliable Phillips drive (No. 2) provides common tool compatibility and controlled torque application during installation.
• Fully threaded shank and pointed tip for quick starting and consistent engagement across the entire fastener length.
• Pan head profile offers a low-profile, rounded finish that sits flush for a clean appearance and reduced snagging.
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations guarantees safe, environmentally responsible materials for industrial use.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 7-16 thread forming tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal assembly, such as material fatigue and corrosion. The 18-8 stainless steel provides excellent resistance to rust and oxidation, extending service life in demanding conditions. Its thread forming (Type A/AB) design displaces material to form precise internal threads, eliminating the need for separate tapping operations and reducing labor costs. The combination of a Phillips drive and fully threaded shank ensures quick, secure installation with standard tools, making it ideal for high-volume production lines in HVAC, electronics enclosures, and automotive components where corrosion-resistant fasteners are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a No. 7-16 thread with a diameter of 0.151" and 16 threads per inch, following standard inch measurements for consistent fit. The pan head has a diameter of 0.296" and height of 0.106", designed for flush mounting. It is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring adherence to industrial safety and environmental standards. Use with a No. 30 drill bit (0.1285" diameter) for optimal performance in sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness.
