S-90048A246 Length 7/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability in industrial environments.
• Efficient thread-forming design eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes, reducing installation time and labor costs in sheet metal assemblies.
• Flush, low-profile finish with a standard flat head and 82° countersink angle for seamless integration without protruding hardware.
• Secure, slip-resistant fastening provided by the Phillips No. 2 drive, allowing for consistent torque application and reduced cam-out risks.
• Optimized for thin materials with a maximum drilling thickness of 0.025", ideal for precision sheet metal and light-gauge applications.
• Full-length threading ensures maximum grip and uniform load distribution along the entire 7/8" length.
• Environmental and regulatory compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards, supporting sustainable and safe manufacturing practices.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

Engineered for demanding sheet metal fastening, these No. 10 tapping screws deliver exceptional performance in HVAC, electronics enclosures, and automotive assemblies. The thread-forming A/AB type creates strong, permanent threads in ductile materials without chip generation, preventing contamination and ensuring vibration resistance. Made from zinc-plated steel, they offer enhanced durability against oxidation and mechanical stress. The Phillips flat head design, paired with a precise 82° countersink, allows for smooth, flush mounting that maintains structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. Compatible with a No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter), these screws streamline installation in thin-gauge metals up to 0.025", reducing assembly errors and improving project turnaround.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This fully threaded screw features a No. 10-12 size with a 0.19" thread diameter and approximately 12 threads per inch, adhering to standard inch measurements for consistent fit. The right-hand thread direction and pointed tip facilitate easy insertion. Manufacturing and material specifications comply with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring the absence of restricted hazardous substances for safe industrial use.
