• Fully threaded pointed tip design enables quick starting and smooth penetration for faster installation
• Pan head with No. 1 square drive provides reliable torque transmission and flush seating for clean finishes
• Comprehensive compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH environmental standards for global manufacturing applications
• Precision-matched drilling specifications with No. 32 drill bit (0.116") for optimal performance in 0.025" maximum thickness materials

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 6 x 3/8" zinc-plated steel tapping screws are engineered specifically for demanding sheet metal applications where reliability and efficiency are critical. The thread forming A/AB type design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, creating strong, permanent threads that resist loosening under vibration. The fully threaded configuration with pointed tip ensures quick starts and smooth penetration, while the zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection for industrial environments. Ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and metal fabrication, these right hand thread screws deliver consistent performance with their 18 TPI precision and 0.138" thread diameter, making them the optimal choice for high-volume assembly operations requiring speed and reliability.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These tapping screws feature precision thread forming technology with 0.138" thread diameter and 18 TPI specification, designed for use with No. 32 drill bit (0.116" diameter) in materials up to 0.025" thickness. The fasteners maintain standard dimensional accuracy with pan head style, No. 1 square drive, and fully threaded construction. Compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring suitability for global manufacturing requirements and restricted substance control.
