S-93406A241 Length 3/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 316 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments and outdoor applications
• Enhanced load distribution from the wide truss head design, preventing pull-through in thin sheet metal materials
• Efficient thread-forming installation creates strong, permanent threads without pre-tapping, reducing assembly time and labor costs
• Secure Phillips No. 2 drive engagement provides reliable torque transmission while minimizing cam-out risks during high-speed driving
• Full threading with pointed tip ensures quick starts and smooth penetration through sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness
• Precision dimensional consistency with Class 2A thread tolerances for reliable performance in automated assembly systems
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe use in regulated industries

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 316 stainless steel tapping screw delivers exceptional value in sheet metal fabrication and industrial assembly applications where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are critical. The thread forming design creates permanent, high-strength threads in pre-drilled holes (No. 21 drill bit, 0.159" diameter), eliminating the need for separate tapping operations and reducing production costs. The wide truss head profile provides superior clamping force distribution, preventing material deformation in thin-gauge metals while the fully threaded shank ensures maximum engagement throughout the fastened materials. Engineered for right-hand threading applications in HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and automotive components, this A/AB type tapping screw maintains reliable performance even in vibration-prone environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 10-12 TPI x 3/8" tapping screw features precision Class 2A thread tolerances with consistent 12 threads per inch and complete threading from tip to head. Manufactured to industry standards for thread forming screws with A/AB thread type specification. The product is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use across industrial sectors without hazardous substance restrictions.
