S-96231A850 Length 3/4" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc plating and black protective coating for extended service life in demanding environments
• Efficient thread forming technology creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping requirements
• Optimized 82° countersink angle ensures flush mounting and clean finished appearance in sheet metal applications
• Reliable Phillips drive system provides secure tool engagement and consistent installation torque control
• Full threading design delivers maximum grip length and superior holding power throughout the entire fastener length
• Precision No. 5 sizing with 0.125" thread diameter and 22 TPI for optimal strength-to-size ratio in sheet metal assemblies
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for global manufacturing applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These zinc-plated steel tapping screws are engineered specifically for sheet metal applications where vibration resistance and permanent fastening are critical. The thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing installation time and labor costs while creating stronger thread engagement than cutting alternatives. The black corrosion-resistant coating provides an additional protective layer beyond standard zinc plating, making these Phillips flat head screws ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, automotive components, and industrial equipment where environmental exposure is a concern. The combination of fully threaded construction and precision 82° countersink ensures secure fastening and professional flush finishes in thin gauge materials up to 0.025" thickness.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These No. 5 x 3/4" tapping screws feature standard Class 2A thread tolerances with 0.125" thread diameter and 22 threads per inch configuration. Manufactured to A/AB tapping screw standards with right-hand threading and compatible with No. 36 drill bit (0.1065" diameter) for proper hole preparation. The screws are fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring they meet international safety and sustainability requirements for industrial use.
