S-90184A155 Length 1" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 316 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh environments and extended service life.
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing installation time and tooling.
• Secure, vibration-resistant fastening from the fully threaded shank and pointed tip, ensuring a tight hold in materials up to 0.025" thick.
• Easy installation and removal with the Phillips No. 2 drive, providing reliable torque transfer and reducing cam-out risks.
• Standard pan head profile offers a low-profile, rounded finish for a clean appearance and reduced snagging.
• Precise fit and compatibility with No. 32 drill bits (0.116" diameter), ensuring accurate pilot holes for optimal thread engagement.
• Compliance with environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, making them safe for various industrial applications.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 316 stainless steel Phillips pan head tapping screws are engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal fabrication, such as corrosion-induced failure and loose fasteners under vibration. The thread forming (Type A/AB) design displaces material to create robust internal threads, eliminating the need for separate tapping operations and reducing assembly costs. The fully threaded configuration and pointed tip ensure quick starts and consistent holding power across the entire 1-inch length, making them ideal for joining thin-gauge metals in HVAC, electronics enclosures, and outdoor equipment. With 18 threads per inch and a 0.138-inch thread diameter, they deliver reliable performance in demanding conditions where corrosion resistance and mechanical integrity are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 6 x 1-inch tapping screw features a right-hand thread with standard inch measurements, including a head diameter of 0.27" and head height of 0.097". It conforms to typical thread forming screw standards (Type A/AB) and is designed for use with a No. 32 drill bit (0.116" diameter) in materials up to 0.025" thick. The product is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it meets stringent environmental and safety requirements for industrial applications.
