Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 6 x 1/2" zinc-plated steel tapping screws deliver exceptional performance in sheet metal applications where reliable fastening is critical. The thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing assembly time and labor costs while creating strong, vibration-resistant connections. The A/AB tapping screw type with 18 threads per inch ensures precise engagement in various metal thicknesses up to 0.025". The combination of fully threaded construction and pointed tip facilitates easy starting and smooth installation, minimizing the risk of cross-threading. These square drive screws with pan head configuration provide superior torque transmission during installation, making them ideal for high-volume production environments where consistency and reliability are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These tapping screws feature precise 0.138" thread diameter with 18 TPI and right-hand threading in accordance with standard inch measurements. The fully threaded design ensures consistent performance across the entire 1/2" length. Compatibility is optimized for No. 32 drill bit size (0.116" diameter) in sheet metal applications. Manufacturing and material compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental responsibility and global market acceptance for your assemblies.
