S-90065A292 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 and long-term reliability.
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing installation time and tooling needs.
• Flush, professional finish achieved with the 82° countersink angle and undercut flat head, preventing snagging and providing a smooth surface.
• Optimized for sheet metal applications, capable of handling up to 0.025" maximum drilling thickness with precise 0.1875" drill bit compatibility.
• Secure, high-torque driving enabled by the Phillips No. 3 drive, minimizing cam-out and ensuring consistent fastening.
• Full threading for maximum grip along the entire 5/8" length, providing superior holding power in thin materials.
• Compliance with global environmental standards, including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safe use in regulated industries.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These Type A thread forming screws are engineered specifically for sheet metal assembly, where traditional fasteners often strip or require additional steps. The 18-8 stainless steel material offers excellent resistance to oxidation and chemical exposure, making these Phillips flat head tapping screws suitable for HVAC, electronics enclosures, and automotive panels. The undercut flat head profile and 82° countersink angle ensure a flush fit, eliminating protrusions that could interfere with adjacent components. With fully threaded design and thread forming technology, they displace material to create robust, vibration-resistant threads without chips, solving common issues of loose fittings in thin-gauge metals. This design maximizes assembly speed while maintaining structural integrity in high-stress environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 12 screw features a 0.216" thread diameter with 11 threads per inch and right-hand threading. It complies with standard inch measurements and is designed for use with a 3/16" (0.1875") drill bit. The fastener meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances and suitable for global supply chains. Manufactured to precise dimensional tolerances typical for thread forming Type A tapping screws, it guarantees consistent performance in industrial applications.
