S-92525A205 Length 3/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Corrosion-resistant 18-8 Stainless Steel ensures long-lasting performance in harsh industrial environments, reducing replacement costs and maintenance downtime.
• Thread Forming Type B design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping, saving time and labor in assembly operations.
• Phillips pan head with No. 1 drive provides secure, slip-resistant engagement and a low-profile finish for flush mounting in tight spaces.
• Fully threaded 3/8" length with 24 TPI precision delivers maximum grip and uniform load distribution across the entire fastener length.
• RoHS 3 and REACH compliance guarantees environmental safety and regulatory acceptance for global manufacturing applications.
• Blunt tip and right-hand threading enables easy alignment and smooth installation while preventing material damage during insertion.
• Optimized for No. 44 drill bit (0.086" diameter) ensures perfect hole compatibility for reliable, vibration-resistant sheet metal fastening.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 18-8 stainless steel tapping screws excel in sheet metal applications where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are critical. The Thread Forming Type B design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing assembly time and tooling costs while creating strong, strip-resistant threads. The Phillips pan head offers a balanced combination of driving torque and low-profile aesthetics, ideal for electronics enclosures, HVAC systems, and automotive panels. With full threading and 24 TPI precision, these screws distribute stress evenly, preventing loosening under vibration and ensuring reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. The blunt tip design minimizes sheet deformation, making them particularly valuable for thin-gauge metal assemblies where material integrity is paramount.
