Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 18-8 stainless steel tapping screws deliver exceptional engineering value in sheet metal assembly applications where corrosion resistance and installation efficiency are critical. The thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing assembly time and labor costs while creating strong, reliable threads in metal substrates. The combination of Phillips/slotted drive provides installation flexibility for various production environments, while the fully threaded configuration ensures maximum engagement and pull-out resistance. Particularly valuable in electronics enclosures, HVAC systems, and automotive components, these screws solve common challenges of material fatigue, vibration loosening, and environmental degradation through their precision No. 4-24 thread specification and corrosion-resistant properties.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This tapping screw features precise dimensional specifications including No. 4-24 thread size (0.112" diameter, 24 TPI), 3/8" length, and pan head design with 0.219" diameter. Manufactured to industry standards for thread forming screws (Type A/AB), it requires No. 44 drill bit (0.086" diameter) for proper installation. The product maintains RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) compliance and REACH (EC 1907/2006) compliance, ensuring environmental safety and regulatory adherence for industrial applications worldwide.
