S-92465A154 Length 1" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction for long-lasting performance in harsh industrial environments.
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing installation time and tooling costs.
• Dual Phillips/Slotted drive options provide flexibility and compatibility with standard tools, minimizing driver slippage during installation.
• Fully threaded shank and pointed tip ensure quick starting and maximum thread engagement for superior pull-out resistance.
• Optimized for 0.025" maximum sheet thickness with precise No. 32 drill bit compatibility, delivering reliable performance in standard sheet metal applications.
• RoHS 3 and REACH compliance guarantees environmental safety and meets strict international regulatory standards for industrial use.
• Pan head design offers a low-profile, rounded finish that sits flush while providing adequate drive torque transmission.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 6-18 thread forming screws are specifically engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal assembly, where traditional fasteners often struggle with material displacement and strip-out issues. The A/AB tapping screw type with its thread forming action creates precise, clean threads in ductile materials without generating chips, eliminating contamination risks in sensitive equipment. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, these screws maintain structural integrity in corrosive environments while the fully threaded design ensures uniform stress distribution. The combination of Phillips/Slotted drive and pan head configuration provides installation versatility for both automated and manual assembly lines, significantly reducing fastener failure rates in industrial fastening applications requiring repeated disassembly and reassembly.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This tapping screw features a No. 6-18 thread size with 0.138" thread diameter and 18 threads per inch in right-hand thread direction. The screw maintains standard inch system tolerances with fully threaded shank and pointed tip for optimal penetration. Manufacturing complies with A/AB tapping screw standards for thread forming applications in sheet metal. The product is fully RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant, meeting current environmental regulations for industrial components.
