S-92525A102 Length 1/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Corrosion-resistant 18-8 stainless steel construction ensures long-term reliability in humid or demanding industrial environments.
• Thread forming (Type B) design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without chips, reducing assembly steps and improving joint integrity.
• No. 1 Phillips pan head drive provides secure tool engagement and a low-profile, rounded head for flush mounting and aesthetic appeal.
• Fully threaded shank with 32 TPI precision offers maximum grip and uniform load distribution along the entire fastener length.
• Compact 1/8" length and 0.086" thread diameter is ideal for thin sheet metal applications where space is limited.
• RoHS 3 and REACH compliance guarantees environmental safety and meets international regulatory standards for hazardous substances.
• Pre-matched No. 48 drill bit size (0.076" diameter) ensures optimal hole preparation for efficient, secure thread forming installation.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 18-8 stainless steel tapping screws are specifically engineered for sheet metal assembly challenges, where vibration resistance and material integrity are critical. The thread forming technology (Type B) displaces material rather than cutting it, resulting in zero swarf and stronger, more reliable threads that resist loosening under dynamic loads. The fully threaded design and 32 TPI precision provide excellent holding power in thin-gauge metals, commonly used in electronics enclosures, HVAC components, and automotive panels. The Phillips pan head offers a balance of drive stability and a smooth, low-profile finish, while the inherent corrosion resistance of stainless steel ensures durability in both indoor and mildly corrosive environments, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 2 x 1/8" tapping screw features a 0.086" thread diameter with 32 threads per inch and is fully threaded with a blunt tip for thread forming applications. It complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring adherence to environmental and safety standards. The screw is designed for use with a No. 48 drill bit (0.076" diameter) for proper hole preparation in sheet metal assemblies.
