S-90054A325 Length 3" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for extended service life in demanding industrial environments
• Enhanced driving efficiency with dual external hex/slotted drive options providing versatile installation tool compatibility
• Secure fastening performance through thread forming technology that creates stronger, vibration-resistant connections in sheet metal
• Distributed load bearing with 0.52" flange diameter that prevents pull-through and reduces surface stress
• Full-length threading ensures maximum grip along the entire 3" length for superior holding power in thick materials
• Optimized thread design with No. 14-10 configuration (0.242" diameter, 10 TPI) delivers precise engagement in pre-drilled 5.5mm holes
• Industry compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe, regulated industrial use

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These zinc-plated steel tapping screws are specifically engineered for sheet metal applications where vibration resistance and long-term reliability are critical. The thread forming design eliminates the need for tapping operations by creating precise mating threads through material displacement, resulting in superior pull-out strength compared to conventional fasteners. The flanged hex head configuration provides a wider bearing surface that distributes clamping force effectively, preventing material deformation in thin-gauge metals up to 0.025" thickness. With their fully threaded No. 14-10 specification and pointed tip, these A/AB type tapping screws ensure quick starts and consistent performance in HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, automotive panels, and industrial equipment assembly where secure metal-to-metal fastening is essential.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These No. 14-10 x 3" tapping screws feature precision Class 2A thread tolerances with 0.242" thread diameter and 10 threads per inch configuration. Manufactured to A/AB tapping screw standards with right-hand threading and fully threaded shank design. The products are fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring they meet the latest industrial safety and sustainability requirements for global manufacturing applications.
