  • Regulatory compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards for global industrial applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 6 x 1/2" Phillips flat head tapping screws deliver exceptional performance in sheet metal applications where vibration resistance and permanent fastening are critical. The thread forming A/AB tapping screw design eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes, creating stronger threads by displacing material rather than removing it. This cold-forming process work-hardens the surrounding metal, resulting in superior pull-out strength and resistance to loosening under dynamic loads. The combination of zinc-plated steel construction and black corrosion-resistant coating provides dual-layer protection against environmental factors, making these industrial screws ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and metal fabrication where durability and compliance with environmental regulations are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These thread forming screws feature precise 0.138" thread diameter with 18 threads per inch and standard right hand threading. The flat head design incorporates an 82° countersink angle for proper seating in prepared holes. Manufactured to industry standards for A/AB tapping screw types, these fasteners are RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant, ensuring they meet current environmental and safety regulations for industrial use across global markets.
