S-90198A284 Length 2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 316 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments and outdoor applications
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing installation time
• Full threading along the 2" length provides maximum grip and holding power across the entire fastener engagement
• Standard 82° countersink angle ensures flush mounting with sheet metal surfaces for clean, professional finishes
• Reliable Phillips No. 2 drive offers familiar, secure tool engagement while preventing cam-out during installation
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations guarantees environmental safety and meets international industrial standards
• Optimized 15 TPI thread pitch delivers excellent pull-out resistance in thin sheet metal applications up to 0.025" thickness

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 316 stainless steel tapping screws are specifically engineered for demanding sheet metal applications where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are paramount. The thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, creating strong, clean threads that resist vibration loosening in thin materials. The flat head profile with standard 82° countersink angle provides seamless surface integration, preventing snagging while maintaining aerodynamic and aesthetic requirements. Particularly valuable in HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and automotive assemblies, these Phillips drive screws combine the chemical stability of 316 stainless with the mechanical advantages of A/AB tapping screw geometry for reliable performance in corrosive environments.
