S-90054A317 Length 1 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding industrial environments.
• Enhanced load distribution and vibration resistance thanks to the integrated 0.52" flange, providing a larger bearing surface and reducing the risk of loosening.
• High-strength thread forming design (Type A/AB) creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, saving time and labor costs.
• Secure and efficient installation with an external hex/slotted drive, allowing for high torque application and compatibility with standard tools.
• Optimized for 0.025" maximum drilling thickness in sheet metal, ensuring reliable fastening in precise applications.
• Full threading and pointed tip for quick starting and consistent engagement across the entire 1-1/2" length, improving assembly speed.
• Compliance with major environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, making them suitable for global supply chains and sensitive applications.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 14 zinc-plated steel tapping screws are engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal assembly, such as material fatigue and corrosion. The thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing assembly steps and potential for cross-threading. The flanged hex head provides a secure clamp, distributing stress over a wider area to prevent pull-through in thin-gauge metals. Made from zinc-plated steel, they offer excellent resistance to rust, making them ideal for HVAC, automotive, and electronics enclosures where durability and regulatory compliance are critical. Their right-hand threads and 10 TPI precision ensure consistent performance in high-vibration environments, enhancing the longevity of your metal fabrications.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This fastener features a No. 14 screw size with a 0.242" thread diameter and 10 threads per inch, fully threaded for maximum grip. The hex head (3/8" width, 0.24" height) with external hex/slotted drive allows for versatile tool use. It conforms to thread forming standards (Type A/AB) and is designed for use with a 5.5 mm (0.2165") drill bit. The product is RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant, ensuring it meets strict environmental and safety regulations for industrial components.
