S-96231A920 Length 5/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Enhanced corrosion resistance with zinc plating and black coating for extended service life in demanding environments.
• Superior thread-forming performance creates strong, durable threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing assembly time and tooling.
• Optimized for sheet metal applications with a pointed tip and specific geometry for efficient penetration into materials up to 0.025" thick.
• Secure and reliable fastening ensured by the fully threaded design and standard 82° flat head for a flush, countersunk finish.
• Effortless installation with the common Phillips No. 2 drive, minimizing cam-out and allowing for high-torque application.
• Precise dimensional compliance as a standard A/AB type tapping screw, ensuring consistent performance and interchangeability.
• Safe for regulated industries with full compliance to RoHS 3 and REACH environmental standards.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 6 x 5/8" zinc-plated steel tapping screws are engineered to solve common fastening challenges in sheet metal fabrication. The thread-forming design eliminates the need for a separate tapping operation, as the screw cold-forms a mating thread in the material, providing exceptional resistance to vibration loosening and strip-out. This is critical in assemblies where reliability is paramount. The combination of a corrosion-resistant coating and the strength of steel ensures long-term integrity, even in mildly corrosive environments. The Phillips flat head with an 82° angle is ideal for applications requiring a smooth, flush surface. These screws are the go-to solution for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and automotive panels, where a strong, permanent, and clean fastening solution is required.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw conforms to standard A/AB tapping screw specifications with a right-hand thread, a thread diameter of 0.138", and 18 threads per inch. The flat head features a standard profile for a proper countersink. Manufacturing and material composition are fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring they are free of restricted hazardous substances.
