• Precision-compatible installation using a standard No. 21 drill bit and 82° countersink angle for a clean, flush finish
• Reliable drive performance with a No. 2 Phillips flat head, providing a low-profile, tamper-resistant connection
• Full threading and pointed tip for faster starts and consistent engagement across the entire 2" length
• Compliant with major environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safe use in regulated industries

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 316 stainless steel Phillips flat head tapping screws are engineered to solve common challenges in sheet metal fabrication and assembly. The thread forming (A/AB type) technology eliminates the risk of loose fasteners by creating a zero-clearance fit that resists vibration loosening, a critical advantage in automotive, HVAC, and electronic enclosure applications. The fully threaded design with a 0.19" thread diameter and 12 threads per inch ensures maximum pull-out strength and uniform stress distribution. The flat head with an 82° countersink provides a smooth, flush surface that prevents snagging and meets aesthetic requirements for finished products, while the corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel material ensures long-term reliability even in chemically aggressive or outdoor environments.
