S-90286A313 Length 3/4" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior thread forming capability creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without chips or waste
• Flanged hex head design provides increased bearing surface and prevents pull-through while allowing high torque application
• Fully threaded construction ensures maximum grip length and uniform stress distribution throughout the engagement
• Precision pointed tip facilitates easy starting and alignment during installation in pre-drilled holes
• Environmental compliance meets RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe use in regulated industries
• Optimized for 0.025" sheet metal with specific drill bit compatibility (5.5mm/0.2165") for precise installation
• External hex/slotted drive offers versatility for both power and manual tool applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 14-10 thread forming tapping screws deliver exceptional performance in demanding sheet metal applications where vibration resistance and permanent fastening are critical. The thread forming design displaces material rather than cutting it, creating stronger threads with improved fatigue resistance and eliminating chip contamination concerns. The flanged hex head provides superior clamping force distribution, reducing the risk of material deformation in thin gauge metals. With fully threaded construction and pointed tip, these screws ensure quick starts and consistent engagement throughout the entire fastener length, making them ideal for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, automotive components, and industrial equipment where reliable sheet metal fastening is essential.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This inch-system fastener features a No. 14 screw size with 10 threads per inch and 0.242" thread diameter, manufactured to standard thread forming specifications for consistent performance. The 3/4" length and 3/8" hex head dimensions provide precise application matching. Compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations ensures these screws meet the latest international standards for restricted substances, making them suitable for global supply chains and environmentally conscious manufacturing operations.
