S-90184A414 Length 3" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments thanks to premium 316 stainless steel construction, ideal for outdoor or chemical-exposed applications.
• Efficient, self-tapping installation with thread forming (Type A/AB) design reduces the need for pre-tapped holes, saving assembly time and labor costs.
• Excellent grip and holding power in sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness, secured by a fully threaded shank and pointed tip for precise penetration.
• Wide compatibility and reliable drive engagement with a standard Phillips No. 2 drive, ensuring common tool fit and reduced cam-out during installation.
• Durable, rounded pan head profile provides a low-profile finish with good bearing surface, minimizing surface damage and offering a clean appearance.
• Consistent performance and interchangeability with right-hand threads, 12 TPI, and No. 10 screw size, adhering to common industrial inch-system standards.
• Environmentally responsible sourcing guaranteed through full compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations, meeting global supply chain requirements.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 316 stainless steel tapping screw is specifically engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal fabrication and assembly, where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are critical. The thread forming (Type A/AB) design creates strong, permanent threads in ductile materials without generating chips, reducing the risk of loosening under vibration. Its fully threaded body and pointed tip ensure quick starts and uniform load distribution, making it ideal for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and automotive panels. The combination of a Phillips pan head and 316 stainless steel material offers reliable performance in moist, saline, or industrial atmospheres, extending service life and reducing maintenance frequency for B2B clients in metalworking, construction, and machinery sectors.
