S-90190A147 Length 7/16" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding industrial environments
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness without requiring pre-tapped holes
• Optimized Phillips No. 2 drive provides secure tool engagement and reduces cam-out during installation
• Fully threaded shank delivers maximum holding power and uniform stress distribution across the entire fastener length
• Pan head design with 0.27" diameter offers excellent bearing surface and professional finished appearance
• Environmental compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations for safe, sustainable manufacturing
• Precision threading with 18 TPI and 0.138" diameter ensures reliable engagement and vibration resistance

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These zinc-plated steel tapping screws are engineered specifically for sheet metal applications where traditional fastening methods fall short. The thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, significantly reducing assembly time and labor costs in high-volume manufacturing. The Phillips pan head configuration provides optimal torque transmission while maintaining a low-profile appearance ideal for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and automotive components. The fully threaded construction ensures maximum pull-out resistance in thin materials, preventing joint failure under vibration and thermal cycling conditions common in industrial settings. With precise 18 threads per inch and 0.138" diameter, these screws create secure, permanent connections in materials up to 0.025" thickness without stripping or damaging the parent material.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 6 x 7/16" tapping screw features precision thread forming design with standard Class 2A thread tolerances for consistent performance. The fastener meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) compliance standards, ensuring environmental responsibility and workplace safety. Manufactured to industry standards for sheet metal fasteners, it requires a No. 32 drill bit (0.116" diameter) for proper installation. The zinc-plated steel construction provides reliable corrosion protection while maintaining the mechanical strength required for demanding industrial applications.
