S-94155A169 Length 1" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments
• Efficient thread forming technology creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without chips or debris
• Optimized installation performance with pointed tip and fully threaded design for faster, more secure fastening
• Enhanced torque transmission through square drive (No. 3) design, reducing cam-out and tool slippage
• Reliable dimensional consistency with 11 threads per inch and 0.216" thread diameter for precise fit
• Broad material compatibility with 3/16" drill bit requirement, suitable for various sheet metal thicknesses
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for global manufacturing applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 12 x 1" tapping screws deliver exceptional performance in sheet metal applications where vibration resistance and long-term reliability are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides excellent corrosion resistance, while the thread forming design creates stronger mating threads by displacing material rather than cutting it. This eliminates chip accumulation issues common in manufacturing environments. The pan head with square drive offers superior torque transmission during installation, reducing assembly time and preventing fastener damage. With fully threaded construction and pointed tip, these screws ensure quick starts and consistent engagement throughout the material thickness, making them ideal for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and automotive components where joint integrity is paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These thread forming tapping screws feature a No. 12 screw size with 1" length, 0.216" thread diameter, and 11 threads per inch. The A/AB screw type with right-hand threading and fully threaded shank ensures consistent performance across applications. Manufactured to precise dimensional standards with a pan head design (0.425" diameter) and square drive (No. 3) for reliable installation. Compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, making them suitable for global industrial use and restricted substance-controlled manufacturing environments.
