S-96832A180 Length 1" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 410 Stainless Steel construction, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding industrial environments
• Efficient thread forming technology creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing installation time and labor costs
• Optimized Phillips drive design with No. 2 size provides secure tool engagement and prevents cam-out during high-torque applications
• Full-length threading ensures maximum grip strength and uniform load distribution across the entire fastener length
• Precision pointed tip enables easy starting and accurate alignment in pre-drilled holes using No. 32 drill bits
• Comprehensive regulatory compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards, making them suitable for global industrial applications
• Pan head design offers a low-profile finish with excellent bearing surface for secure fastening in sheet metal assemblies

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 410 Stainless Steel tapping screws are engineered specifically for sheet metal applications where corrosion resistance and installation efficiency are critical. The thread forming technology eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, creating strong, strip-resistant threads that withstand vibration and thermal cycling. The Phillips drive system ensures reliable torque transmission while the fully threaded design provides consistent clamping force across the entire engagement length. Ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and industrial machinery where 0.138" thread diameter and 18 threads per inch deliver optimal performance in materials up to 0.025" thickness. The pointed tip facilitates precise alignment, reducing installation errors and improving assembly line efficiency.
