• Reliable fastening in thin materials with a maximum drilling thickness of 0.025", ensuring secure holds in sheet metal applications.
• Easy installation and removal thanks to the Phillips No. 3 drive and fully threaded, pointed tip for quick alignment and driving.
• Consistent performance with a 0.242" thread diameter and 10 threads per inch, providing uniform clamping force and vibration resistance.
• Compliance with environmental standards, meeting RoHS 3 and REACH regulations for safe use in regulated industries.
• Versatile pan head design offers a low-profile, rounded finish that sits flush against surfaces, minimizing snagging and improving aesthetics.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 316 stainless steel tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal fabrication, such as material fatigue and corrosion in demanding conditions. The thread forming technology eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes, reducing labor costs and preventing loose fittings by creating durable, chip-free threads. With a Phillips pan head and right-hand thread, it ensures straightforward installation in tight spaces, while the fully threaded design maximizes grip in thin-gauge metals up to 0.025" thick. Ideal for HVAC, automotive, and electronics enclosures, this screw delivers long-term reliability and corrosion resistance, minimizing maintenance and downtime in industrial settings.
