S-92525A549 Length 1/4" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments
• Efficient thread forming technology creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping
• Reliable Phillips drive system with No. 2 drive size ensures secure installation and prevents cam-out
• Optimized pan head design with 0.373" diameter provides excellent bearing surface for secure fastening
• Full threading along 1/4" length delivers maximum grip strength and uniform load distribution
• Environmental compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations for global industrial applications
• Precision-matched drill bit sizing (No. 21/0.159") ensures proper hole preparation and optimal thread engagement

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 10-16 thread forming screw delivers exceptional performance in sheet metal applications where vibration resistance and material integrity are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for outdoor equipment, electrical enclosures, and HVAC systems. The Type B thread forming design displaces material rather than removing it, creating stronger threads that resist loosening under dynamic loads. The Phillips drive with No. 2 size offers reliable torque transmission while the pan head configuration ensures flush mounting and even pressure distribution. This combination addresses common industrial challenges including material fatigue, corrosion-induced failure, and vibration-induced loosening in sheet metal fastening applications.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This tapping screw features precise No. 10-16 thread specifications with right-hand direction and full threading along the 1/4" length. The screw maintains standard Class 2A thread tolerances 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 Type B thread forming design follows industry standards for sheet metal fasteners, with recommended No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter) for proper installation.
