S-94997A300 Length 13 mm DIN 7981 Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments.
• Efficient, high-strength fastening in sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness, reducing assembly time and labor costs.
• Reliable thread-forming design creates strong, permanent threads without pre-tapping, minimizing loosening.
• Optimized drive engagement with Phillips No. 2 drive for secure torque transmission and reduced cam-out risk.
• Full-length threading and pointed tip ensure quick, straight starts and maximum grip along the entire shank.
• DIN 7981 compliance guarantees consistent metric dimensions and performance for precise B2B applications.
• RoHS 3 environmental compliance meets global regulatory standards for safe, sustainable manufacturing.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

Engineered for demanding sheet metal applications, these M3.5 tapping screws solve critical assembly challenges. The 18-8 stainless steel material provides excellent resistance to rust and oxidation, extending service life in electrical enclosures, HVAC systems, and machinery panels. The thread-forming tapping method and coarse thread design displace material to create robust, vibration-resistant connections without nuts or washers, streamlining production. The pan head with Phillips drive offers a low-profile, secure fit for automated or manual driving, ensuring reliable performance in high-volume industrial screw fastening operations.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This metric tapping screw adheres to DIN 7981 standards, ensuring precise M3.5 x 13mm dimensions with fully threaded, right-hand coarse threads for consistent engagement. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a pan head and Phillips No. 2 drive, it is fully RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant, meeting stringent environmental and safety regulations for industrial use.
