S-90053A153 Length 1" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for extended service life in demanding industrial environments
• Excellent thread-forming capability creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without requiring pre-tapped holes
• Optimized for 0.025" maximum drilling thickness providing reliable performance in standard sheet metal applications
• Fully threaded design ensures maximum holding power and consistent engagement along the entire fastener length
• Slotted pan head configuration offers easy installation with standard screwdrivers while providing a low-profile finish
• Precise No. 6 sizing with 18 threads per inch delivers optimal grip strength and vibration resistance in sheet metal assemblies
• Comprehensive regulatory compliance meets RoHS 3 and REACH standards for environmentally responsible manufacturing

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 6 x 1" zinc-plated steel tapping screws are engineered specifically for sheet metal applications where reliable fastening is critical. The thread forming technology eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, significantly reducing assembly time and labor costs. The A/AB tapping screw type with right-hand threading and pointed tip ensures quick starting and smooth installation into pre-drilled holes. The zinc-plated steel material provides essential corrosion protection for industrial environments, while the slotted pan head design allows for efficient installation with common tools. These fully threaded screws maintain consistent clamping force across the entire 1" length, preventing loosening under vibration and ensuring long-term joint integrity in sheet metal assemblies.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These tapping screws feature precise 0.138" thread diameter with 18 threads per inch and are designed for use with No. 32 drill bits (0.116" diameter). The thread forming tapping method creates strong, clean threads in base materials without chip removal. Manufactured to industry standards for A/AB tapping screw types, these fasteners are fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring they meet the latest requirements for hazardous substance restrictions and chemical safety in industrial applications.
