Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 316 stainless steel tapping screw is specifically engineered for sheet metal applications where corrosion resistance and thread integrity are critical. The thread forming technology creates permanent, high-strength threads without generating metal chips, preventing contamination in sensitive assemblies like electronics enclosures, HVAC systems, and marine equipment. The Phillips drive ensures straightforward installation with common tools, while the fully threaded design and pointed tip facilitate quick starts and uniform load distribution. Ideal for industries requiring RoHS and REACH compliance, this screw maintains performance in humid, saline, or chemical-exposed environments, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw adheres to standard inch measurements with a No. 6 size, 3/8" length, and 18 TPI thread. It features a pan head (0.27" diameter, 0.097" height), right-hand threading, and is designed for use with a No. 32 drill bit (0.116" diameter). The product conforms to RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it is free of hazardous substances and suitable for industrial safety standards. Thread forming type A/AB provides reliable performance in specified material thicknesses.
