S-90065A205 Length 2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments.
• Efficient thread forming with Type A design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing assembly time.
• Optimized for 0.025" maximum drilling thickness, providing secure fastening in thin sheet metal applications.
• Precise 82° countersink angle allows for a flush, professional finish that minimizes snagging and improves safety.
• Fully threaded shank maximizes grip and load distribution across the entire length for enhanced joint strength.
• Compliant with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations, ensuring environmental safety and meeting global supply chain requirements.
• No. 2 Phillips drive offers common tool compatibility and reduces cam-out risk for efficient installation.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 8 x 2" 18-8 Stainless Steel Phillips Flat Head Tapping Screws are engineered specifically for sheet metal assembly, where corrosion resistance and thread integrity are critical. The thread forming Type A design displaces material to create robust, strip-resistant threads without generating chips, eliminating cleanup and ensuring vibration-resistant joints. The flat head with 82° countersink sits flush to prevent interference in tight spaces, while the fully threaded configuration provides uniform clamping force. Ideal for HVAC, electronics enclosures, and automotive panels, these screws solve common issues like galvanic corrosion and thread failure, delivering reliable performance with standard No. 29 drill bits for precise hole preparation.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This fastener features a 0.164" thread diameter with 15 threads per inch and complies with standard inch measurements for thread forming tapping screws. Manufacturing adheres to industry specifications for flat head profile and drive style, ensuring consistent fit and function. The product is fully RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant, confirming adherence to hazardous substance restrictions and supporting sustainable procurement practices.
