• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapped holes, reducing assembly steps.
• Reliable Phillips drive and pan head ensures secure installation and a low-profile, finished appearance.
• Precise No. 6-20 thread and 5/16" length provides consistent performance and secure fastening in standard sheet metal thicknesses.
• Optimized for use with No. 32 drill bit (0.116" diameter), ensuring proper fit and minimizing material stress during installation.
• Fully threaded blunt tip allows for smooth entry and reduces the risk of material splitting or cross-threading.
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations guarantees environmental safety and meets international supply chain requirements.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 18-8 stainless steel thread forming screws are engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal assembly, such as stripping, corrosion, and inconsistent thread engagement. The Type B tapping screw design forms durable mating threads directly into ductile materials, eliminating the need for separate nuts or tapped holes—this speeds up production and reduces part count. The Phillips pan head offers a balance of drive stability and a low-profile finish, suitable for applications where appearance and space are considerations. Made from corrosion-resistant 18-8 stainless steel, these screws maintain integrity in humid, chemical, or outdoor settings, providing long-term fastening reliability for HVAC, electronics enclosures, automotive panels, and other industrial equipment.
