S-92465A157 Length 1 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh environments and long-term reliability
• Efficient thread forming technology creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing installation time
• Dual-drive compatibility with Phillips/Slotted head allows flexible tool usage and prevents stripping in high-torque applications
• Optimized for 0.025" maximum drilling thickness in sheet metal, ensuring secure fastening in thin materials
• Fully threaded design provides maximum grip and uniform load distribution along the entire length
• Pan head profile offers a low-profile finish with good bearing surface for secure clamping
• Environmental compliance meets RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe use in regulated industries

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 18-8 stainless steel sheet metal tapping screws deliver exceptional performance in demanding industrial applications where corrosion resistance and thread integrity are critical. The thread forming (A/AB type) design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, creating strong, vibration-resistant threads that won't loosen under stress. The Phillips/Slotted combination drive provides installation flexibility while the fully threaded No. 6 x 1-1/2" configuration ensures maximum engagement in sheet metal assemblies. Ideal for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and automotive components, these screws solve common challenges of material galling and thread stripping while maintaining consistent clamping force in thin-gauge materials up to 0.025" thickness.
