S-94065A197 Length 3/4" 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.
• Efficient thread forming technology creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal, eliminating the need for pre-tapped holes.
• Secure, tamper-resistant fastening with the drilled spanner drive, ideal for applications where vandalism or unauthorized access is a concern.
• High-strength, fully threaded design ensures maximum grip and holding power along the entire 3/4" length for reliable sheet metal assemblies.
• Optimized for thin materials, designed to work effectively with a maximum drilling thickness of 0.025" for precise sheet metal applications.
• Broad material compatibility as an A/AB type screw, suitable for a wide range of sheet metal and other thin gauge materials.
• Compliance with major environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safety and suitability for global markets.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 8 sheet metal tapping screw is engineered to solve common fastening challenges in sheet metal fabrication. Its thread forming design displaces material to create a zero-clearance fit, providing exceptional resistance to vibration loosening and strip-out compared to traditional machine screws. The 18-8 stainless steel material offers excellent strength and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and automotive panels exposed to moisture or chemicals. The combination of a pan head and drilled spanner drive delivers a low-profile, secure fastening solution that is both easy to install with the correct tool and resistant to tampering, ensuring the integrity of your assemblies in demanding industrial applications.
