S-92465A280 Length 2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments.
• Enhanced torque transmission and tool compatibility through the dual Phillips/Slotted drive (No. 3 size), reducing slippage and installation time.
• Efficient thread-forming design that creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, saving labor and material costs.
• Optimized pan head profile with 0.476" diameter for secure seating and increased bearing surface, preventing pull-through in thin materials.
• Full No. 14-10 threading along the 2" length provides consistent grip and vibration resistance across the entire fastened joint.
• Precise 5.5mm drill bit compatibility simplifies hole preparation, ensuring accurate fit and reducing assembly errors in sheet metal up to 0.025" thick.
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations guarantees safe, environmentally responsible use in global industrial supply chains.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 14 x 2" tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal fabrication, such as material fatigue and installation inefficiency. The 18-8 stainless steel composition offers excellent resistance to oxidation and chemical exposure, making it ideal for outdoor equipment, HVAC systems, and electronic enclosures. Its thread-forming A/AB type design displaces material rather than cutting it, resulting in tighter threads that resist loosening under vibration—a critical advantage in automotive or machinery assemblies. The combination of Phillips/Slotted drive accommodates various tools, enhancing workflow flexibility on production lines. With a fully threaded shank and pointed tip, it ensures rapid penetration and uniform clamping force, reducing the risk of strip-out in thin-gauge metals and improving overall joint integrity.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw adheres to standard inch measurements with a thread diameter of 0.242" and 10 threads per inch, ensuring precise fit in pre-drilled holes. The pan head design features a 0.476" diameter and 0.169" height for consistent performance. Manufactured as a thread-forming tapping screw type A/AB with right-hand threading, it meets industry expectations for dimensional accuracy. Compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) confirms the absence of hazardous substances, supporting safe use in regulated industrial and commercial applications.
