Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 6 x 5/8" zinc-plated steel tapping screws are specifically engineered for sheet metal applications where reliable fastening is critical. The thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing installation time and labor costs while creating strong, vibration-resistant connections. The Phillips flat head configuration with 82° countersink angle ensures a clean, flush finish that prevents snagging and maintains aerodynamic surfaces. The brass-colored finish provides both aesthetic appeal and additional corrosion protection, making these A/AB tapping screws ideal for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, automotive components, and industrial machinery where both performance and appearance matter.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This thread forming screw features precise 0.138" thread diameter with 18 threads per inch and right-hand threading for standard installation. The fastener meets Class 2A thread tolerances and is designed for use with No. 32 drill bit (0.116" diameter). Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental compliance and safe use across various industrial sectors.
