S-93945A068 Length 1 1/4" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Corrosion-resistant performance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for demanding industrial environments.
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing installation time.
• Secure, cam-out resistant fastening provided by the square drive, ensuring maximum torque transfer and driver bit engagement.
• Flush surface finish with the standard flat head and 82° countersink angle for a clean, professional appearance.
• Full threading along the 1-1/4" length delivers consistent holding power across the entire material thickness.
• Reliable material penetration with the pointed tip, designed specifically for sheet metal applications up to 0.025" thickness.
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe, sustainable industrial use.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 14 sheet metal tapping screw is engineered to solve common fastening challenges in metal fabrication and assembly. The 18-8 stainless steel material provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, extending service life in humid or outdoor environments. Its thread forming (Type A/AB) design displaces material rather than cutting it, creating stronger thread engagement and higher resistance to vibration loosening in sheet metal applications. The combination of flat head configuration and square drive ensures secure installation without stripping, while the fully threaded shank maintains consistent clamping force. This makes it ideal for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, automotive panels, and industrial machinery where reliable, permanent fastening is critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a 0.242" thread diameter with 10 threads per inch and right-hand threading direction. The flat head has a 0.462" diameter with standard profile and 82° countersink angle. Manufactured to industry standards for tapping screws, it requires a No. 3 square drive and 5.5mm drill bit (0.2165") for proper installation. The product is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use in industrial applications worldwide.
