S-96231A680 Length 3/4" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for extended service life in demanding industrial environments
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping requirements
• Optimal flush installation with standard 82° flat head profile that sits perfectly countersunk in sheet metal applications
• Enhanced driving efficiency through Phillips No. 2 drive system that prevents cam-out and ensures secure fastening
• Maximum material engagement with fully threaded shank design that distributes load evenly across the entire fastener length
• Precision compatibility with standard No. 29 drill bits (0.136" diameter) for simplified installation and reduced preparation time
• Reliable regulatory compliance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe use across global industrial markets

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 8-15 thread forming tapping screws deliver exceptional performance in sheet metal applications where vibration resistance and permanent fastening are critical. The zinc-plated steel construction provides durable protection against corrosion while maintaining the high tensile strength needed for structural integrity. The thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing installation time and labor costs in high-volume manufacturing. The 82° countersink angle ensures a flush finish that prevents snagging and maintains aerodynamic surfaces in HVAC, automotive, and electronic enclosure applications. With full threading and right-hand direction, these screws achieve maximum pull-out resistance in materials up to 0.025" thickness, making them ideal for joining multiple sheet metal layers or attaching components to metal frames.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 8-15 x 3/4" tapping screw features precision 0.164" thread diameter with 15 threads per inch and complies with standard thread forming (Type A/AB) specifications. The fastener maintains Class 2A thread tolerances for consistent performance and is manufactured to industrial standards for sheet metal fastening. Regulatory compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) requirements, ensuring environmental safety and unrestricted use in global industrial supply chains. The brass-colored finish provides additional corrosion protection while maintaining professional appearance.
