S-90048A205 Length 2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding industrial environments.
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing installation time and labor costs.
• Optimized for sheet metal applications with a fully threaded No. 8 body and 82° countersink angle for flush, vibration-resistant fastening.
• Reliable drive engagement provided by Phillips No. 2 drive, minimizing cam-out and ensuring consistent torque application.
• Precision compatibility with standard No. 29 drill bits (0.136" diameter), streamlining the installation process in 0.025" maximum thickness materials.
• Enhanced regulatory compliance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards, making them suitable for global industrial supply chains.
• Right-hand threading with 15 TPI delivers secure fastening and excellent pull-out resistance in thin metal sections.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These zinc-plated steel tapping screws are engineered specifically for sheet metal applications where reliable fastening in thin materials is critical. The thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing assembly time while creating strong, strip-resistant threads that maintain integrity under vibration. The Phillips flat head with standard profile and 82° countersink angle ensures flush mounting without protrusions, while the fully threaded No. 8 configuration provides maximum grip length. Manufactured from durable steel with protective zinc plating, these A/AB type screws resist corrosion in industrial environments, making them ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, automotive components, and machinery assemblies where vibration resistance and long-term reliability are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These tapping screws feature precision thread forming with 0.164" thread diameter and 15 threads per inch, designed for use with No. 29 drill bits (0.136" diameter) in materials up to 0.025" thickness. The flat head incorporates an 82° countersink angle for proper seating in sheet metal applications. Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental responsibility and industrial safety standards are met for global distribution and use.
