S-93406A012 Length 3/8" 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 fastening stability from the wide truss head design that distributes load evenly and resists pull-through in sheet metal applications
• Efficient thread-forming capability that creates strong, permanent threads without chips, eliminating the need for tapping operations
• Optimized for thin materials with precise 52 TPI threading and 0.06" diameter, providing secure fastening in maximum 0.025" sheet metal thickness
• Quick installation using standard No. 0 Phillips drive and pre-drilled No. 55 (0.052") holes, reducing assembly time and tool requirements
• Full environmental compliance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards, making them suitable for regulated industries and export markets
• Complete thread coverage with fully threaded shank and pointed tip for smooth engagement and consistent clamping force

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 18-8 stainless steel thread forming screws deliver exceptional performance in sheet metal fabrication and thin material assembly. The Phillips truss head provides a larger bearing surface that prevents sinking into soft materials while maintaining flush installation. With 52 TPI precision threading and thread forming technology, these screws create durable, vibration-resistant connections without generating metal chips that could contaminate sensitive equipment. The 0.06" thread diameter and pointed tip ensure easy starting and smooth penetration in pre-drilled holes, making them ideal for electronics enclosures, HVAC components, and automotive panels where reliable fastening in thin gauge materials is critical. The combination of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and environmental compliance makes these screws suitable for outdoor applications and regulated industries.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These No. 0 x 3/8" tapping screws feature thread forming (Type A/AB) technology with right-hand threading and fully threaded shank. The screws maintain precise dimensional accuracy with 0.06" thread diameter and 52 TPI thread pitch, designed for use with No. 55 drill bit (0.052" diameter) in materials up to 0.025" thickness. Manufacturing and material compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental standards, ensuring they meet international regulatory requirements for industrial applications.
