S-90054A244 Length 5/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for extended service life in demanding industrial environments
• Maximum torque transmission through external hex/slotted drive design, preventing tool slippage during installation
• Enhanced material retention with flanged design that eliminates the need for separate washers and distributes clamping force evenly
• Efficient thread forming action creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness without pre-tapping
• Full threading engagement along the 5/8" length provides consistent holding power throughout the entire fastener
• Quick installation alignment with pointed tip design that self-centers in pre-drilled No. 21 (0.159") holes
• Industry-standard compatibility with 12 threads per inch and right-hand threading for seamless integration into existing assemblies

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 10-12 thread forming tapping screws deliver exceptional performance in sheet metal applications where vibration resistance and permanent fastening are critical. The zinc-plated steel construction provides reliable corrosion protection in industrial settings, while the flanged hex head design eliminates washer requirements and reduces assembly time. The thread forming technology creates precise, tight-fitting threads in sheet metal up to 0.025" thickness, preventing loosening under dynamic loads. The combination of external hex/slotted drive accommodates multiple tool types, offering flexibility in production environments. These fully threaded screws ensure maximum engagement in thin materials, making them ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and metal fabrication where reliable, permanent fastening is essential.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 10 tapping screw features precise 0.19" thread diameter with 12 threads per inch and right-hand threading following industry standards. The 5/8" length and fully threaded design ensure consistent performance in sheet metal applications requiring No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter) for proper installation. Manufactured to exacting specifications with thread forming (Type A/AB) technology for superior holding power. Fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use in industrial applications worldwide.
