S-96231A650 Length 3/4" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction and brass-colored finish, ensuring long-lasting performance in industrial environments.
• Effortless installation thanks to the Phillips flat head and No. 2 drive size, reducing tool slippage and speeding up assembly processes.
• Reliable thread-forming capability with A/AB type design, creating strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping.
• Optimal flush mounting achieved with the standard 82° countersink angle and flat head profile, providing a smooth surface finish.
• High thread engagement from fully threaded design and 18 threads per inch, delivering maximum holding power in thin materials.
• Precision compatibility with No. 32 drill bits (0.116" diameter), ensuring accurate hole preparation and secure fastening in sheet metal up to 0.025" thick.
• Compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations, meeting global environmental and safety standards for industrial use.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These zinc-plated steel tapping screws are engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal fabrication, where vibration resistance and material integrity are critical. The thread-forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing assembly time and labor costs while minimizing the risk of strip-out in thin-gauge metals. The fully threaded No. 6-18 configuration ensures consistent clamping force across the entire 3/4" length, preventing loosening under dynamic loads. With a standard 82° countersink angle and Phillips flat head, these screws sit flush with surfaces, ideal for applications requiring aerodynamic or aesthetic finishes in HVAC, electronics enclosures, and automotive panels. The brass-colored finish not only provides additional corrosion protection but also allows for easy visual inspection during quality control processes.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 6-18 x 3/4" tapping screw features a 0.138" thread diameter with 18 threads per inch and right-hand threading, conforming to standard inch measurements for precision fit.
