S-90286A312 Length 5/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior holding power with 0.52" flange diameter that distributes load evenly and prevents pull-through in sheet metal applications
• Thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads without generating chips, eliminating contamination risks in sensitive environments
• External hex/slotted drive provides versatile installation options for both manual and power tool applications
• Full threading along the 5/8" length ensures maximum engagement and vibration resistance throughout the material thickness
• Precision compatibility with standard 5.5mm drill bits (0.2165" diameter) for efficient installation in materials up to 0.025" thickness
• Industrial compliance meets RoHS 3 and REACH environmental standards for global manufacturing requirements
• Right-hand threading with 10 threads per inch delivers reliable, standardized fastening performance

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 14 thread forming tapping screws are engineered specifically for demanding sheet metal applications where reliability is critical. The hex head design with external drive allows for high torque application without stripping, while the flanged construction eliminates the need for separate washers, reducing assembly time and component count. The thread forming tapping method creates stronger thread engagement than cutting alternatives by displacing material rather than removing it, resulting in superior resistance to vibration loosening. Perfect for industrial fastening in HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, automotive components, and machinery where consistent performance in thin gauge materials is essential. The combination of fully threaded design and pointed tip ensures easy starting and maximum thread contact throughout the engagement length.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 14-10 thread forming tapping screw features a 3/8" hex head with 0.24" height and 0.242" thread diameter with 10 threads per inch in right-hand direction. The fastener is fully threaded with a pointed tip and measures 5/8" in length. Manufactured to Tapping Screw Type A specifications for thread forming applications. Compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring suitability for global industrial markets and restricted substance requirements.
