S-93406A196 Length 5/8" 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
• Enhanced load distribution through the wide truss head design, reducing material stress and preventing pull-through in sheet metal applications
• Efficient thread forming technology creates strong, permanent threads without chips, eliminating the need for separate tapping operations
• Full threading with pointed tip ensures quick starts and smooth installation, saving assembly time and labor costs
• Optimized Phillips No. 2 drive provides secure tool engagement and reduces cam-out risk during high-torque installation
• Precision sizing compatibility with No. 29 drill bit (0.136" diameter) for perfect fit in standard sheet metal thicknesses up to 0.025"
• Regulatory compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards for global market acceptance and environmental responsibility

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 18-8 stainless steel tapping screws deliver exceptional value in sheet metal fabrication and assembly operations. The thread forming design (Type A/AB) creates stronger, more reliable threads in ductile materials by displacing rather than removing material, eliminating chip clearance issues common in traditional tapping. The Phillips truss head provides a wider bearing surface that distributes clamping force effectively, preventing distortion in thin-gauge metals while maintaining a low-profile appearance. With full threading and right-hand direction, these screws ensure maximum thread engagement and consistent holding power across the entire fastener length. The combination of stainless steel material and precision threading makes these fasteners ideal for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, automotive components, and other applications requiring corrosion resistance and reliable performance in metal-to-metal connections.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 8-15 x 5/8" tapping screw features a 0.164" thread diameter with approximately 15 threads per inch and meets standard thread forming specifications for Type A/AB tapping screws. The fastener is fully threaded with precision-formed threads suitable for sheet metal applications requiring maximum engagement. Manufacturing and material compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) compliance and REACH (EC 1907/2006) compliance, ensuring adherence to international environmental and safety standards for industrial components.
