S-95115A225 Length 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments and long-term reliability.
• Enhanced installation security through the drilled spanner drive, preventing cam-out and ensuring precise torque application.
• Strong, permanent threads created by the thread forming (Type A/AB) design, eliminating the need for pre-tapped holes in sheet metal.
• Flush, professional finish with a standard 82° flat head that sits seamlessly in countersunk holes for a smooth surface.
• Optimized for thin materials with a maximum drilling thickness of 0.025", making them perfect for standard sheet metal applications.
• Full-length threading ensures maximum grip and holding power along the entire 1/2" length of the screw.
• Compliance with global standards, being RoHS 3 and REACH compliant for use in regulated and environmentally conscious industries.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 10-12 flat head tapping screws are precision-engineered for sheet metal fabrication, where creating strong, reliable threads without nuts or inserts is critical. The 18-8 stainless steel material provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring longevity in demanding conditions. The thread forming (Type A/AB) action displaces material to form robust internal threads, reducing the risk of stripping and providing superior vibration resistance compared to thread-cutting alternatives. Combined with the drilled spanner drive for secure installation and the 82° countersink angle for a flush fit, these screws deliver a high-strength, tamper-resistant fastening solution for HVAC, electronics enclosures, and automotive assemblies, streamlining production and reducing maintenance needs.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 10 screw features a right-hand thread with a diameter of 0.19" and approximately 12 threads per inch. It is fully threaded and pointed for easy starting. The screw is designed for use with a No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter) and conforms to standard tapping screw specifications for thread forming (Type A/AB). It is manufactured to be RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant, ensuring adherence to strict environmental and safety regulations for industrial components.
