S-93945A001 Length 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction for long-lasting performance in harsh industrial environments
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without requiring pre-tapped holes
• Optimal flush mounting with 82° countersink angle and standard flat head profile for smooth, professional finishes
• Enhanced driving torque through square drive design prevents cam-out and ensures secure installation
• Maximum thread engagement with fully threaded shank and pointed tip for superior holding power in materials up to 0.025" thick
• Precision compatibility with No. 32 drill bits (0.116" diameter) for accurate pilot hole preparation
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH regulations for safe, sustainable manufacturing

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 6-18 flat head tapping screws deliver exceptional value in sheet metal fabrication and assembly applications. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making them ideal for demanding environments where durability is critical. The thread forming design (A/AB type) eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing installation time and labor costs while creating strong, vibration-resistant connections. The 82° countersink angle ensures proper seating in standard countersunk holes, preventing head protrusion and maintaining aerodynamic or aesthetic surfaces. With right-hand threading and square drive configuration, these screws offer reliable installation performance that minimizes tool slippage and production delays in high-volume manufacturing settings.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These tapping screws feature precision No. 6-18 thread specifications with 0.138" thread diameter and 18 threads per inch, manufactured to industry standards for consistent performance. The fully threaded design with pointed tip ensures maximum engagement in materials up to 0.025" thickness. Compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations guarantees environmental safety and regulatory adherence for global industrial applications.
