Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 2024 aluminum tapping screws deliver exceptional value in sheet metal fabrication and assembly operations. The thread forming technology eliminates the need for separate tapping operations while creating stronger, more reliable threads that resist vibration loosening. The Phillips pan head design with No. 2 drive size provides excellent torque transmission for consistent installation in automated or manual assembly lines. Manufactured from high-strength 2024 aluminum, these tapping screws offer an optimal balance of lightweight properties and mechanical performance, making them ideal for applications where weight reduction is critical without compromising fastening integrity. The fully threaded design ensures maximum surface contact for superior pull-out resistance in thin sheet metal sections.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 6-18 x 3/8" tapping screw features a 0.138" thread diameter with 18 threads per inch and follows standard thread forming (Type A/AB) specifications for sheet metal applications. The screw maintains precise dimensional tolerances with a pan head diameter of 0.27" and head height of 0.097". Manufacturing and material compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and restricted substance compliance for industrial use.
