S-90184A236 Length 5/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 316 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments and outdoor applications.
• Excellent thread-forming capability creates strong, reliable threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing installation time and tooling costs.
• Secure and efficient fastening with a No. 2 Phillips drive, providing good torque transfer and minimizing cam-out during installation.
• Optimized for sheet metal applications with a pointed tip and fully threaded design for quick starting and maximum grip in materials up to 0.025" thick.
• Durable pan head design offers a low-profile, rounded head that sits flush and resists snagging while distributing clamp load effectively.
• Compliance with environmental regulations, meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe use in regulated industries.
• Precise dimensional accuracy with standard inch measurements and consistent thread pitch for reliable performance and interchangeability.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 8 x 5/8" 316 stainless steel tapping screw is specifically engineered for sheet metal fastening in demanding industrial settings. Its thread-forming technology eliminates the need for pre-drilled threads, reducing labor and preventing material fatigue in thin-gauge metals. The Phillips drive ensures straightforward installation with standard tools, while the fully threaded design and pointed tip enable quick penetration and superior pull-out resistance. Made from 316 stainless steel, it provides exceptional resistance to corrosion from chemicals, moisture, and salt spray, making it ideal for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, automotive assemblies, and marine equipment. This screw delivers reliable performance, reduces maintenance costs, and extends service life in critical applications.
