S-95015A279 Length 3/4" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Enhanced Security: Tamper-resistant Torx T30 drive prevents unauthorized removal, protecting critical assemblies in public or high-security environments.
• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Made from 18-8 Stainless Steel for excellent durability in harsh or humid conditions, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
• Reliable Thread Formation: Thread forming (Type AB) design creates strong, clean threads in sheet metal without chips, ensuring secure, vibration-resistant fastening.
• Optimized for Sheet Metal: Pointed tip and 0.242" thread diameter with 14 TPI enable smooth, precise installation into pre-drilled holes (No. 4 drill bit, 0.209" diameter).
• Flush, Professional Finish: Flat head with 82° countersink angle sits seamlessly in materials, providing a smooth surface and reducing snagging risks.
• Full-Length Grip: Fully threaded 3/4" length maximizes holding power across the entire shank for consistent performance in varied material thicknesses.
• Regulatory Compliance: Meets RoHS 3 and REACH standards, ensuring safety and environmental responsibility for global industrial use.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 14 T30 tamper-resistant Torx flat head tapping screws are precision-engineered for demanding sheet metal applications, where security and longevity are paramount. The 18-8 Stainless Steel construction offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making them ideal for outdoor equipment, electrical enclosures, HVAC systems, and machinery exposed to moisture. The thread forming (Type AB) design eliminates the need for tapping operations, as it cold-forms threads into the material, reducing installation time and preventing loose metal chips that can cause electrical shorts or mechanical interference. With a right-hand thread and fully threaded shank, these screws ensure uniform load distribution and high clamp force, critical for maintaining structural integrity under vibration. The tamper-resistant drive further enhances their value in public infrastructure, transportation, and secured facilities, deterring vandalism and unauthorized access while complying with stringent industry regulations.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This fastener features a No. 14 screw size with a 0.242" thread diameter and 14 threads per inch, adhering to standard inch-system tolerances for precise fit. The flat head is designed with an 82° countersink angle and standard profile for flush mounting. Manufactured as Type AB thread forming tapping screws for use in sheet metal with a maximum drilling thickness of 0.025", they require a No. 4 drill bit (0.209" diameter) for pre-drilling. Compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006), ensuring the absence of hazardous substances and supporting sustainable, safe industrial practices.
