• Standard pan head profile offers excellent bearing surface for secure fastening while maintaining low-profile installation

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 2024 aluminum tapping screws deliver exceptional value in sheet metal fabrication and assembly operations. The thread forming A/AB screw type eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, significantly reducing labor costs and assembly time in high-volume production environments. With their right-hand thread direction and 0.138" thread diameter, these fasteners create strong, reliable connections in thin-gauge materials commonly used in electronics enclosures, HVAC systems, and automotive components. The combination of 2024 aluminum material and fully threaded design ensures excellent strength-to-weight ratio while preventing loosening under vibration, making them ideal for applications where both durability and weight considerations are critical engineering factors.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 6 x 1/2" tapping screw features precision 18 TPI threading with standard thread tolerances suitable for industrial applications. The fastener meets thread forming specifications for sheet metal applications and complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations. Manufactured to industry standards for A/AB tapping screw types, these screws ensure consistent performance with No. 32 drill bit compatibility (0.116" diameter) for proper hole preparation in sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness.
