S-90065A195 Length 5/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping
• Clean flush installation with standard flat head profile and 82° countersink angle for smooth finished surfaces
• Reliable driving performance featuring No. 2 Phillips drive for secure torque transfer and reduced cam-out
• Maximum grip strength through fully threaded design and pointed tip for easy starting and penetration
• Optimized for thin materials with capability to drill through 0.025" maximum thickness sheet metal
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for global manufacturing applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These thread forming Type A tapping screws deliver exceptional value in sheet metal assembly applications where vibration resistance and material integrity are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining high tensile strength, making these Phillips flat head screws suitable for outdoor equipment, electrical enclosures, and HVAC systems. The thread forming technology eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing assembly time and labor costs while creating stronger thread engagement than conventional fasteners. The combination of fully threaded design and pointed tip ensures quick starting and consistent performance across high-volume production runs, while the standardized 82° countersink angle provides reliable flush mounting in various sheet metal thicknesses.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 8 x 5/8" tapping screw features precise 0.164" thread diameter with 15 threads per inch and standard inch system measurements. The thread forming Type A design follows industry standards for self-tapping fasteners, requiring No. 29 drill bit (0.136" diameter) for proper installation. Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use in global markets. The fully threaded configuration and standard flat head profile maintain consistent performance across industrial sheet metal applications.
