S-90077A153 Length 1" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-lasting performance in industrial environments.
• Effortless installation and removal thanks to the dual Phillips/Slotted drive, accommodating various tools and reducing assembly time.
• Secure, vibration-resistant fastening in sheet metal due to the thread forming design that creates strong, permanent threads without pre-tapping.
• High thread engagement and pull-out strength with 18 TPI and fully threaded shank, providing reliable holding power in thin materials.
• Versatile compatibility with standard No. 32 drill bits, simplifying hole preparation and ensuring precise fits.
• Reduced risk of material damage from the pointed tip, which guides the screw accurately and minimizes sheet metal deformation.
• Compliance with environmental and safety standards, including RoHS 3 and REACH, for use in regulated industries.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 6 x 1" tapping screws are engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal fabrication, such as strip-out and loosening under vibration. Made from zinc-plated steel, they offer excellent durability against rust and wear, crucial for HVAC, automotive, and electronics enclosures. The thread forming (A/AB type) design eliminates the need for pre-threaded holes, reducing labor and tooling costs while creating strong, reliable threads that resist back-out. With a pan head and dual Phillips/Slotted drive, these screws ensure easy installation in tight spaces, enhancing efficiency in high-volume assembly lines. Ideal for securing thin-gauge metals, they provide consistent performance where precision and corrosion resistance are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This product features a thread diameter of 0.138" with approximately 18 TPI, a pan head diameter of 0.27", and a length of 1". It conforms to standard thread forming (A/AB) specifications for tapping screws, with a right-hand thread direction and fully threaded shank for maximum grip. Designed for use with a No. 32 drill bit (0.116" diameter), it ensures precise fit in sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness. Compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, these screws meet stringent environmental and safety requirements for industrial applications.
