S-92525A114 Length 5/16" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments and extended service life.
• Efficient thread-forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal, eliminating the need for pre-tapped holes and speeding up assembly.
• Secure and reliable fastening with a Phillips pan head and standard rounded profile, providing a flush finish and excellent drive torque transfer.
• Precision installation is ensured by compatibility with a No. 48 drill bit (0.076" diameter), minimizing the risk of material damage.
• Full-length threading offers maximum grip and holding power along the entire 5/16" length for robust sheet metal connections.
• Compliance with major environmental regulations including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safety and suitability for global markets.
• Right-hand blunt tip design allows for straightforward alignment and starting in pilot holes, enhancing installation efficiency.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 2-32 thread forming screw is engineered to solve common challenges in sheet metal fabrication and assembly. The 18-8 stainless steel material provides excellent strength and resistance to oxidation, making it perfect for applications where durability and longevity are critical, such as in HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and automotive panels. The thread forming (Type B) action cold-forms the material, resulting in zero chip production and a tighter, more vibration-resistant fit compared to thread-cutting alternatives. This design reduces the risk of loose connections in thin materials, while the Phillips pan head offers a low-profile, secure drive that withstands high torque during installation. Its RoHS and REACH compliance further ensures that it meets stringent environmental and safety standards, making it a reliable choice for professional and industrial use.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw adheres to standard inch measurements with a No. 2-32 thread (0.086" diameter, 32 TPI) and is fully threaded for consistent performance. It features a pan head with a 0.167" diameter and is designed for use with a No. 48 drill bit. The product is manufactured to common industrial standards for tapping screws and is verified to be RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant, ensuring it is free of hazardous substances and suitable for various regulatory environments.
