S-96612A325 Length 1" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Enhanced security with tamper-resistant hex drive design to prevent unauthorized removal in sensitive applications
• Superior thread forming capability with A/AB thread profile that creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping
• Optimized material compatibility with 0.2165" drill bit size recommendation for precise installation in sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness
• Full-length threading provides maximum grip and holding power throughout the entire 1" length
• Environmental compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH compliance for use in regulated industries
• Right-hand thread direction ensures standard installation familiarity and efficiency for maintenance teams
• Rounded button head design offers a finished appearance while minimizing snagging in assembly environments

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 14-10 TPI tamper-resistant hex drive tapping screws deliver exceptional value in sheet metal applications where security and reliability are paramount. The A/AB thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing installation time and labor costs while creating strong, strip-resistant threads that maintain integrity under vibration. The 5/32" tamper-resistant hex drive provides crucial security against unauthorized access in public facilities, electrical enclosures, and machinery where tampering poses safety risks. With fully threaded construction and precise 0.242" thread diameter, these screws distribute clamping force evenly, preventing material distortion in thin-gauge sheet metal while maintaining consistent pressure across the entire fastened joint.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This tapping screw features a No. 14 screw size with 10 threads per inch and 1" length, designed with thread forming method for sheet metal applications. The screw meets industry standards for A/AB thread types with right-hand direction and fully threaded construction. Compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring suitability for industrial and commercial use where material restrictions apply. Installation requires a 5.5 mm (0.2165") drill bit with maximum drilling thickness of 0.025" for optimal performance.
