S-91632A079 Length 3/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments and long-term reliability.
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing installation time and tooling costs.
• Optimized for 0.025" maximum drilling thickness using a No. 48 drill bit, ensuring precise fit and secure fastening in thin sheet metal applications.
• Slotted pan head design provides a low-profile, rounded finish for a clean appearance and easy installation with standard screwdrivers.
• Fully threaded shank and right-hand direction deliver maximum grip and uniform load distribution, preventing loosening under vibration.
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations guarantees environmental safety and meets global industrial standards for hazardous substance control.
• Standard A/AB tapping screw type ensures compatibility with common sheet metal assemblies and reliable performance in repetitive use.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 2 x 3/8" tapping screws are engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal fabrication, such as material stripping and corrosion-induced failure. The 18-8 stainless steel material offers excellent strength and rust resistance, making them suitable for outdoor equipment, HVAC systems, and electronic enclosures. With thread forming technology, these screws displace material to form tight, secure threads without chips, reducing the risk of debris in sensitive assemblies. The slotted pan head allows for quick installation in confined spaces, while the fully threaded design ensures consistent clamping force across the joint. Ideal for industrial maintenance and manufacturing, these screws enhance assembly efficiency and durability in demanding environments.
