S-95829A365 Length 1 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Enhanced security with tamper-resistant hex drive design to prevent unauthorized removal in sensitive applications
• Superior corrosion resistance from 18-8 stainless steel construction for long-lasting performance in harsh environments
• Excellent holding power through thread forming design that creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal
• Full-length threading provides maximum engagement and pull-out resistance across the entire 1-1/2" length
• Optimized for sheet metal applications with pointed tip and specific thread design for easy installation and secure fastening
• Flat head profile allows for flush mounting and clean finished appearance in assembled products
• Environmental compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations for use in regulated industries

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 14 sheet metal tapping screws deliver exceptional engineering value through their specialized thread forming design and 18-8 stainless steel composition. The tamper-resistant hex drive (5/32") addresses critical security concerns in public infrastructure, electrical enclosures, and access panels where unauthorized tampering poses safety risks. The A/AB tapping screw type with right hand thread direction and 0.242" thread diameter creates permanent, high-strength connections in sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness without requiring pre-tapped holes. The fully threaded 1-1/2" length ensures maximum thread engagement for vibration resistance, while the pointed tip facilitates precise alignment and easier starting in fabrication applications.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This tapping screw features standard Class 2A thread tolerances with 10 threads per inch and 0.242" thread diameter. The manufacturing complies with industry-standard A/AB tapping screw specifications for sheet metal applications. The product is fully RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant, meeting the latest environmental regulations for industrial fasteners. The 82° countersink angle matches standard drill bit preparations for proper seating in sheet metal assemblies.
