S-90190A073 Length 3/16" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments.
• Effortless installation using a No. 1 Phillips drive, reducing assembly time and tool slippage for consistent performance.
• Secure thread forming with A/AB type tapping, creating strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping.
• Precise fit and vibration resistance from 32 TPI fully threaded design, minimizing loosening in high-stress applications.
• Optimized for thin materials with a 3/16" length and pointed tip, ideal for sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness.
• Durable pan head design provides a low-profile, rounded finish that resists snagging and allows for flush mounting.
• Compliance with global standards including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safe, environmentally responsible use in regulated industries.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 2 zinc-plated steel tapping screws are engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal assembly, such as material fatigue and thread stripping. The thread forming design displaces material rather than cutting it, resulting in stronger, more reliable threads that withstand vibration and load stresses. Made from zinc-plated steel, they offer excellent corrosion protection, extending service life in demanding environments like HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and automotive panels. The Phillips drive and fully threaded shank ensure quick, secure installation with standard tools, reducing labor costs and improving production efficiency for industrial manufacturers.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This product features a No. 2 screw size with a 3/16" length and 32 TPI precision threading, adhering to standard inch measurements for consistent fit. The thread forming (A/AB type) tapping method and right-hand thread direction comply with industry practices for sheet metal fastening. It is designed for use with a No. 48 drill bit (0.076" diameter) and supports a maximum drilling thickness of 0.025". All manufacturing and material processes are RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) compliant, meeting stringent environmental and safety regulations for industrial applications.
