S-92525A209 Length 5/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Corrosion-resistant 18-8 stainless steel construction ensures long-term reliability 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, providing superior resistance to vibration loosening.
• Phillips pan head with rounded profile offers a flush, low-profile installation and easier drive control with standard Phillips No. 1 bits.
• Fully threaded blunt tip enables maximum thread engagement and easier starting alignment in pre-drilled No. 44 (0.086") holes.
• Precise No. 4-24 thread specification (0.112" diameter, 24 TPI) delivers consistent clamping force and reliable performance in sheet metal assemblies.
• RoHS 3 and REACH compliance guarantees environmental safety and regulatory acceptance for global industrial applications.
• 5/8" length with right-hand threading provides optimal fastening depth for standard sheet metal thicknesses while accommodating conventional installation tools.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 18-8 stainless steel tapping screw delivers exceptional value in sheet metal fabrication and assembly operations where corrosion resistance and vibration durability are critical. The thread forming Type B technology eliminates the need for separate tapping operations by cold-forming mating threads directly into sheet metal substrates, creating stronger thread engagement than cutting alternatives. The combination of fully threaded blunt tip design and precise No. 4-24 thread pitch ensures rapid installation with minimal driving torque while maintaining secure fastening in thin-gauge materials. Engineered for industrial environments, these screws prevent galvanic corrosion in metal assemblies and maintain integrity under thermal cycling and mechanical stress, making them ideal for electrical enclosures, HVAC systems, and machinery panels where reliability cannot be compromised.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This tapping screw features inch system measurements with No. 4-24 thread specifications (0.112" diameter, 24 TPI) and standard Class 2A thread tolerances. The thread forming Type B design complies with industry standards for sheet metal fastening applications. Manufacturing and material composition fully adhere to RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring compliance with current industrial safety standards. Installation requires a No. 44 drill bit (0.086" diameter) for proper hole preparation in sheet metal substrates.
