S-90184A400 Length 2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 316 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments and outdoor applications.
• Exceptional holding power through thread forming technology, creating strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping.
• Optimized for 0.025" maximum drilling thickness with No. 21 drill bit compatibility, ensuring precise installation in thin sheet metal.
• Reliable Phillips drive (No. 2) provides secure torque transmission and reduces cam-out during installation.
• Fully threaded right-hand design with 12 threads per inch delivers consistent grip and faster installation in sheet metal assemblies.
• Pan head profile offers a low-profile, finished appearance while providing good bearing surface.
• Full regulatory compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards, ensuring environmental safety and global market acceptance.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 316 stainless steel tapping screw delivers exceptional value in sheet metal fabrication and industrial assembly where corrosion resistance is critical. The thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, creating stronger threads by displacing material rather than removing it. This results in superior vibration resistance and maximum holding power in thin gauge materials. The Phillips drive system ensures efficient installation with standard tools, while the pan head design provides a clean, professional finish. Perfect for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, automotive components, and marine applications where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or salt spray requires durable fastening solutions that maintain integrity over time.
