S-91632A247 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 technology creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without requiring pre-tapped holes
• Optimized installation process with precise No. 21 drill bit (0.159") specification for maximum material engagement and reduced assembly time
• Enhanced driving control through slotted pan head design allowing reliable torque application and secure fastening
• Full-length threading with pointed tip ensures quick starting and superior grip throughout the entire 1" length
• Right-hand thread direction provides standard installation familiarity and consistent performance across applications
• Regulatory compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH compliance for safe use in regulated industrial settings

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 10-12 TPI tapping screws deliver exceptional value in sheet metal applications where reliable fastening is critical. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides excellent corrosion resistance, making these thread forming screws ideal for outdoor equipment, electrical enclosures, and HVAC systems exposed to moisture and environmental elements. The slotted pan head design offers practical installation while the fully threaded construction with pointed tip ensures rapid penetration and maximum thread engagement in materials up to 0.025" thickness. This combination addresses common industrial challenges of vibration loosening and material fatigue by creating permanent, high-strength threads directly in the base material without additional tapping operations.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 10 tapping screw features a 0.19" thread diameter with 12 threads per inch in right-hand orientation, manufactured to precise dimensional standards for consistent performance. The thread forming design (Type A/AB) creates strong internal threads in sheet metal without chip removal. Compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and restricted substance adherence for industrial applications. Installation requires a No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter) for optimal hole preparation in sheet metal up to 0.025" maximum drilling thickness.
