Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 10-12 x 2" tapping screws deliver exceptional performance in sheet metal applications where security and reliability are paramount. The thread forming design eliminates chips during installation, preventing contamination in sensitive equipment while creating stronger thread engagement through material displacement. The tamper-resistant hex drive (5/32") provides crucial security against unauthorized access in public facilities, industrial controls, and commercial equipment. With a 0.19" thread diameter and 12 threads per inch, these screws maintain consistent clamping force in metal thicknesses up to 0.025", making them ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and machinery panels where vibration resistance is critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This A/AB type tapping screw features a No. 10 screw size with 0.19" thread diameter and 12 threads per inch precision threading. The fastener maintains standard dimensional tolerances for consistent performance across applications. Manufactured to comply with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use in global markets. The screw requires a No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter) for proper installation in materials up to 0.025" maximum drilling thickness.
