S-90190A199 Length 1" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for extended service life in demanding industrial environments
• Excellent thread-forming capability creates permanent, vibration-resistant threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping requirements
• Optimized Phillips drive design (No. 2 size) ensures efficient installation and reduced cam-out during high-torque applications
• Maximum material compatibility with 0.025" maximum drilling thickness using standard No. 29 drill bits for precise installations
• Enhanced holding power through fully threaded design with 15 TPI configuration for superior grip in sheet metal applications
• Regulatory compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe use across global industrial markets
• Versatile pan head design provides low-profile fastening with rounded profile for smooth finished appearances

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 8-15 x 1" zinc-plated steel tapping screws deliver exceptional performance in sheet metal fabrication and assembly operations. The thread forming technology (A/AB type) eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, significantly reducing installation time and labor costs. The Phillips pan head design with standard rounded profile ensures flush mounting while providing sufficient drive torque resistance. Manufactured from zinc-plated steel, these screws offer reliable corrosion protection in industrial environments where moisture and environmental factors typically compromise fastener integrity. The fully threaded configuration with right-hand direction and pointed tip facilitates smooth penetration and consistent thread engagement throughout the entire fastener length, creating permanent, vibration-resistant connections ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and automotive panel assemblies.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This thread forming sheet metal screw features precise dimensional specifications including 0.164" thread diameter, 15 threads per inch, and 1" length with Class 2A thread tolerances. The tapping screw complies with A/AB type standards for thread forming applications and is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations. The manufacturing process ensures consistent quality for industrial applications requiring reliable sheet metal fastening solutions with maximum drilling thickness of 0.025" using No. 29 drill bits.
