S-95638A323 Length 5/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Tamper-resistant T8 Torx drive prevents unauthorized removal, enhancing security in sensitive industrial environments
• 18-8 stainless steel construction delivers excellent corrosion resistance for long-lasting performance in harsh conditions
• Thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without chips or debris
• Fully threaded shank ensures maximum grip length and superior holding power throughout the entire fastener
• Pointed tip design enables quick, self-starting installation without pre-drilling in many applications
• Precision sizing compatibility with 3/32" drill bits for 0.025" maximum drilling thickness in sheet metal
• Rounded button head profile provides a finished appearance while minimizing snagging hazards

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 4-24 thread forming screws are specifically engineered for demanding sheet metal applications where security and durability are paramount. The 18-8 stainless steel composition offers exceptional corrosion resistance, making these tamper-resistant Torx screws ideal for outdoor equipment, electrical enclosures, and HVAC systems exposed to moisture and environmental elements. The A/AB tapping screw type with thread forming capability creates stronger thread engagement than cutting screws, eliminating loose metal chips that could compromise electrical components or moving parts. The combination of T8 drive security and fully threaded design ensures both vandal-resistant protection and maximum pull-out strength in thin gauge materials, solving critical fastening challenges in commercial and industrial settings.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These precision-engineered fasteners feature No. 4 screw size with 0.112" thread diameter and 24 threads per inch in right-hand thread direction. The 5/8" length and fully threaded configuration meet industry standards for sheet metal fasteners, with compatibility for 3/32" (0.0938") drill bits and 0.025" maximum drilling thickness. Manufactured to A/AB tapping screw type specifications with Class 2A thread tolerances, these screws comply with industry standards for mechanical fasteners and contain materials that meet RoHS and REACH environmental compliance requirements.
