• Dual-drive versatility with Phillips/slotted pan head design for flexible tool compatibility and reliable torque transmission
• Optimized for sheet metal applications with precise No. 44 drill bit compatibility and 0.025" maximum drilling thickness
• Full-thread engagement ensures maximum holding power and vibration resistance in thin materials
• Regulatory compliance meets RoHS 3 and REACH environmental standards for global manufacturing requirements
• Right-hand threading provides standard installation direction familiar to all technicians

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 4-24 thread forming screws are engineered specifically for sheet metal applications where material integrity and corrosion resistance are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides excellent durability against environmental factors, while the Type A/AB thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing installation time and labor costs. The pan head profile with dual Phillips/slotted drive offers flexibility for various assembly environments, ensuring reliable fastening in HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and automotive components. The combination of 0.112" thread diameter and 24 threads per inch creates optimal thread engagement in thin-gauge materials, preventing stripping and maintaining joint integrity under vibration and thermal cycling conditions common in industrial settings.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This tapping screw features precise inch system dimensions including No. 4 screw size, 1/4" length, and 0.112" thread diameter with 24 TPI. The thread forming (Type A/AB) tapping method ensures consistent performance in sheet metal applications requiring No. 44 drill bits (0.086" diameter). Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, confirming environmental responsibility and material safety standards for industrial use. The fully threaded design with pointed tip facilitates easy starting and proper alignment during installation.
