Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These thread forming tapping screws deliver exceptional value in sheet metal applications where reliable fastening is critical. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making these A/AB type screws ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and automotive components exposed to harsh conditions. The thread forming technology eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing assembly time and costs while creating strong, permanent threads that resist loosening under vibration. The combination of Phillips/Slotted drive offers installation flexibility, accommodating different tool preferences while maintaining maximum torque transmission during high-volume production runs. With their pointed tip and precise 0.216" thread diameter, these screws ensure quick starts and smooth penetration through sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness without pilot holes.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These No. 12 x 5/8" tapping screws feature precision right-hand threads with approximately 11 threads per inch and fully threaded shank design. The screws conform to standard thread forming specifications for Type A/AB tapping screws with 0.216" thread diameter and pan head profile measuring 0.425" in diameter. Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental responsibility and chemical safety compliance for industrial applications worldwide.
