S-92525A608 Length 5/16" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 316 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments and outdoor applications.
• Efficient thread-forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal, eliminating the need for pre-tapped holes and reducing assembly time.
• Reliable driving performance from the No. 1 Phillips pan head, providing a secure grip and reducing the risk of cam-out during installation.
• Maximum holding power with a fully threaded No. 4-24 shank, ensuring a tight, vibration-resistant fit in materials up to 5/16" thickness.
• Simplified installation process using a standard No. 44 drill bit (0.086" diameter), streamlining your sheet metal fabrication workflow.
• Compliance with global safety standards, including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring environmental responsibility and material safety for industrial use.
• Durable, rounded pan head profile offers a low-profile finish that sits flush against surfaces, minimizing snagging and providing a clean appearance.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

Engineered for demanding sheet metal applications, these 316 stainless steel tapping screws solve critical challenges in industrial assembly. The thread-forming (Type B) design displaces material to create robust internal threads without generating chips, preventing contamination in sensitive equipment and electrical enclosures. This Phillips pan head screw combines the excellent corrosion resistance of 316 stainless—superior to standard grades in saline or chemical exposures—with a fully threaded 0.112" diameter shank for uniform stress distribution. The No. 1 Phillips drive ensures compatibility with common power tools, making these fasteners ideal for high-volume production lines in HVAC, automotive, and electronics manufacturing where reliability and regulatory compliance are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 4-24 x 5/16" tapping screw features a right-hand thread with approximately 24 threads per inch and a blunt tip for controlled penetration. Manufactured to standard inch dimensions with a Class 2A thread fit for reliable engagement in pre-drilled holes. The screw is RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant and REACH (EC 1907/2006) Compliant, meeting stringent international regulations for hazardous substance restrictions. Recommended for use with a No. 44 drill bit (0.086" diameter) in sheet metal applications requiring durable, corrosion-resistant fastening solutions.
