S-94155A157 Length 1 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments.
• Exceptional holding power in sheet metal applications due to thread forming (Type A/AB) design, which creates strong, permanent threads without pre-tapping.
• Efficient installation with a No. 3 square drive and pan head, providing high torque transmission and reducing tool slippage during assembly.
• Full-length threading for maximum grip along the entire 1-1/2" length, enhancing fastener stability and load distribution.
• Right-hand threaded, pointed tip allows for quick, self-starting insertion into sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness, speeding up production lines.
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards, ensuring environmental safety and meeting global regulatory requirements for industrial components.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 14 sheet metal tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in metal fabrication, such as thread stripping and corrosion-induced failure. The 18-8 stainless steel material offers excellent strength and rust resistance, making it ideal for outdoor equipment, HVAC systems, and automotive assemblies. Its thread forming Type A/AB design displaces material to form precise internal threads, eliminating the need for separate tapping operations and reducing assembly time. The pan head with square drive ensures secure fastening in high-vibration environments, while the fully threaded shank provides uniform stress distribution, preventing loosening and maintaining joint integrity in demanding sheet metal applications.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a thread diameter of 0.242" with approximately 10 threads per inch, conforming to standard inch measurements for precision. It is designed as a thread forming tapping screw (Type A/AB) with right-hand threading and a pointed tip for efficient installation. The product complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances and suitable for global industrial use.
