S-90935A190 Length 3/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Enhanced corrosion resistance with black-oxide steel coating for extended service life in demanding industrial environments
• Superior thread-forming capability creates permanent, vibration-resistant threads in sheet metal without requiring tapping operations
• Optimized installation efficiency with No. 2 Phillips drive and pointed tip for quick starts and reduced assembly time
• Maximum material engagement through fully threaded design ensures secure fastening across the entire 3/8" length
• Precision thread design with 15 TPI and No. 8 diameter delivers reliable performance in thin sheet metal applications
• Reduced preparation time with compatible No. 29 drill bit (0.136") specification for streamlined installation processes
• Industry compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH regulations for global manufacturing applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These black-oxide steel thread forming screws are engineered specifically for sheet metal applications where traditional fastening methods often fail. The A/AB tapping screw type with thread forming technology eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing labor costs and installation time significantly. The fully threaded design with 15 TPI precision ensures maximum thread engagement in materials up to 0.025" thickness, preventing stripping and maintaining joint integrity under vibration. The Phillips pan head provides excellent drive torque transfer while the black-oxide finish offers superior corrosion protection in industrial environments. These tapping screws are ideal for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and automotive assemblies where reliable sheet metal fastening is critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These No. 8 x 3/8" tapping screws feature precision right-hand threads with 15 threads per inch and Class 2A thread fit for reliable performance. The thread forming design conforms to A/AB tapping screw standards and requires a No. 29 drill bit (0.136" diameter) for proper installation. Manufactured from steel with black-oxide surface treatment, these fasteners are fully RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant, ensuring environmental regulatory compliance for global industrial applications.
