S-90184A260 Length 7/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Exceptional corrosion resistance with 316 stainless steel material, ideal for harsh or outdoor environments where rust prevention is critical.
• Superior holding power in sheet metal through precision thread forming technology that creates strong, reliable threads without pre-tapping.
• Efficient installation with No. 2 Phillips drive for common tool compatibility and reduced cam-out during fastening.
• Maximum thread engagement thanks to fully threaded design, ensuring consistent clamping force along the entire screw length.
• Optimized for thin materials with capability to drill up to 0.025" maximum thickness, perfect for standard sheet metal applications.
• Wide industrial compliance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH environmental regulations for safe, sustainable use in global markets.
• Secure, vibration-resistant fastening from the right-hand thread and pan head design that provides a flush-to-low profile finish.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 316 stainless steel tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal fabrication, such as material stripping, corrosion-induced failure, and installation inefficiency. The thread forming design eliminates the need for pre-drilled threads, reducing labor time and tooling costs while creating stronger, more durable connections in metals. Its fully threaded No. 8 body and Phillips drive ensure quick, secure fastening in HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and automotive panels, where corrosion resistance and reliability are paramount. By combining high-strength 316 stainless steel with precise thread forming technology, this screw minimizes galling and provides long-term performance in demanding industrial environments.
