Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

  • Superior corrosion resistance with nickel-plated steel construction, extending service life in demanding industrial environments.
  • Efficient, secure installation via the Phillips No. 2 drive, reducing cam-out and ensuring reliable torque transfer.
  • Clean, flush finish with a standard 82° flat head profile, ideal for applications requiring a smooth surface.
  • High-strength thread forming (Type A/AB) creates durable, vibration-resistant threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping.
  • Maximum material engagement with a fully threaded design, providing excellent pull-out strength and holding power.
  • Wide compatibility with standard No. 32 drill bits (0.116" diameter), simplifying the assembly process.
  • Regulatory peace of mind, fully compliant with RoHS 3 and REACH for global industrial use.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 6 x 1/2" thread forming screws are precision-engineered for sheet metal applications where reliability is non-negotiable. The nickel-plated steel material provides a durable barrier against corrosion, essential for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and automotive assemblies. The thread forming (tapping) method displaces material to create strong, strip-resistant threads, eliminating the need for tapped holes and reducing assembly time and cost. The flat head with an 82° countersink sits flush, preventing snagging and ensuring a professional finish. This combination of a fully threaded shank and right-hand threading delivers consistent clamping force and vibration resistance, solving common loosening issues in dynamic environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a No. 6 size with a 0.138" thread diameter and 18 threads per inch. It is manufactured to standard thread forming (Type A/AB) specifications with a pointed tip for easy starting. The product is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it meets stringent environmental and safety standards for industrial components.
