S-93406A324 Length 3" 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 from the wide truss head design, reducing the risk of material pull-through in thin sheet metal.
• Efficient thread forming technology creates strong, secure threads without chips, ideal for repeated disassembly and reassembly.
• Full threading and pointed tip ensure quick starts and maximum grip length for reliable fastening in sheet metal up to 0.025" thick.
• Comfortable and secure driving with the Phillips No. 3 drive, minimizing cam-out and improving installation speed.
• Compliance with environmental standards including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safe use in regulated industries.
• Precision-engineered dimensions with a 0.242" thread diameter and 10 threads per inch for consistent, reliable performance.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 14 x 3" 18-8 stainless steel Phillips truss head tapping screws are engineered to solve common challenges in sheet metal assembly. The thread forming design eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes, reducing labor and tooling costs while creating stronger, more vibration-resistant connections. The wide truss head provides a larger bearing surface, preventing pull-through in thin-gauge materials and distributing clamp load effectively. Made from 18-8 stainless steel, these screws offer excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion, making them ideal for outdoor enclosures, HVAC systems, and electrical cabinets where durability is critical. The fully threaded shank and pointed tip ensure quick alignment and deep penetration, streamlining high-volume production lines.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This thread forming sheet metal screw adheres to standard inch measurements with a No. 14 screw size, 0.242" thread diameter, and 10 threads per inch. The A/AB tapping screw type is designed for use with a 5.5 mm (0.2165") drill bit and is suitable for materials up to 0.025" thickness. Manufactured in compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and industrial reliability.
