S-96832A330 Length 1 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 410 Stainless Steel material, ensuring long-term durability in harsh industrial environments.
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, reliable threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing assembly time and labor costs.
• Secure Phillips drive engagement with No. 2 size provides consistent torque transfer and minimizes cam-out during installation.
• Full threading and pointed tip enable quick starts and maximum grip across the entire 1-1/2" length for enhanced holding power.
• Standard pan head profile offers a low-profile finish with good bearing surface for stable fastening in sheet metal applications.
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations ensures environmental safety and meets global industrial standards for hazardous substance restrictions.
• Optimized for No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter) with specified maximum drilling thickness, providing precise fit and reduced material stress.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 10-12 thread forming screws are engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal fabrication, where vibration resistance and material integrity are critical. The 410 Stainless Steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, making these tapping screws ideal for outdoor equipment, HVAC systems, and electrical enclosures exposed to moisture. The Phillips pan head design ensures easy installation with standard drivers, while the fully threaded shank and pointed tip facilitate quick penetration and secure fastening in thin-gauge metals. This combination reduces the risk of strip-out and maintains joint integrity under dynamic loads, offering reliable performance for industrial assembly lines.
