S-92525A165 Length 5/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 Stainless Steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments and long-term reliability.
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, reducing installation time and tooling costs.
• Wide compatibility and secure fastening with a No. 14 screw size and 14 TPI thread pitch, ensuring precise fit and vibration resistance in metal assemblies.
• Optimized drive engagement featuring a Phillips No. 3 drive and pan head style for easy installation and reduced cam-out risk during high-torque applications.
• Full-length threading provides consistent holding power along the entire 5/8" length, maximizing pull-out strength in thin materials.
• Environmental and regulatory compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards, ensuring safe use in regulated industries and global market acceptance.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This thread forming tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal fabrication, such as strip-out and loosening under vibration. The Type B thread forming design displaces material to create a zero-clearance fit, eliminating the need for separate nuts or threaded inserts and reducing assembly steps. Made from 18-8 Stainless Steel, it offers excellent resistance to oxidation and chemical exposure, making it suitable for outdoor equipment, electrical enclosures, and HVAC systems. The Phillips pan head and blunt tip facilitate quick alignment and driving, while the fully threaded shank ensures uniform stress distribution, preventing joint failure in dynamic load conditions common in automotive and machinery applications.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw adheres to standard inch measurements with a thread diameter of 0.242" and length of 5/8", featuring a unified thread form with approximately 14 threads per inch for consistent engagement. It complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances. The manufacturing process ensures dimensional accuracy suitable for industrial use, with a recommended 5.5 mm (0.2165") drill bit size for optimal performance in thread forming applications.
