S-92525A317 Length 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments
• Exceptional holding power through thread forming technology that creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal
• Efficient installation with Phillips No. 2 drive for reliable torque transfer and reduced cam-out risk
• Complete thread engagement with fully threaded design for maximum grip along the entire fastener length
• Optimized material compatibility with pre-drilled No. 32 (0.116") holes in sheet metal applications
• Enhanced durability with rounded pan head design that resists stripping and provides clean installation
• Environmental compliance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for global industrial use

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 18-8 stainless steel tapping screws deliver exceptional performance in sheet metal applications where corrosion resistance and vibration resistance are critical. The thread forming Type B design creates precise, strong threads without generating chips, eliminating contamination concerns in sensitive assemblies. The Phillips pan head configuration ensures flush mounting while providing sufficient drive torque capacity. With fully threaded right-hand orientation and optimized 20 threads per inch pitch, these screws maintain consistent clamping force across the entire engagement length, preventing loosening in high-vibration industrial environments. The combination of 0.138" thread diameter and 1/2" length makes them ideal for medium-duty sheet metal joining where reliability and longevity are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 6-20 x 1/2" tapping screw features inch system measurements with standard thread forming Type B specifications. The fastener maintains precise dimensional accuracy with 0.138" thread diameter and 20 threads per inch for consistent performance. Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use across global industrial markets. The screw is designed for use with No. 32 drill bits (0.116" diameter) in sheet metal applications, providing optimal hole preparation for thread forming installation.
