S-95015A273 Length 5/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Enhanced security with tamper-resistant T20 Torx drive that deters unauthorized removal in sensitive applications
• Superior corrosion resistance from 18-8 stainless steel construction for long-term reliability in harsh environments
• Optimized sheet metal performance through thread-forming AB type design that creates strong, permanent threads without pre-tapping
• Secure flush installation with standard flat head profile and 82° countersink angle for smooth, vibration-resistant finishes
• Full-length gripping power with completely threaded shank that maximizes holding strength across the entire fastener length
• Precision dimensional control ensuring consistent head diameter and proper fit in No. 29 drilled holes
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH regulations for safe industrial use

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 8 T20 tamper-resistant Torx flat head tapping screw delivers exceptional engineering value in sheet metal applications where security and durability are paramount. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance for outdoor equipment, electrical enclosures, and HVAC systems exposed to moisture and chemicals. The thread-forming AB type design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations while creating stronger, more reliable threads in sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness. The tamper-resistant Torx drive offers superior torque transmission compared to standard security fasteners while preventing unauthorized access in public facilities, transportation equipment, and secure installations. The fully threaded design and 82° countersink angle ensure flush mounting that resists vibration loosening in demanding industrial environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This tapping screw features precision inch measurements including No. 8 screw diameter, 5/8" length, and controlled head diameter tolerance (-0.016" to 0.032"). Manufactured to AB type thread forming standards with right-hand threading and approximately 15 threads per inch. Compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations for industrial use. Designed for use with No. 29 drill bit (0.136" diameter) in sheet metal applications requiring maximum security and corrosion resistance.
