S-92525A909 Length 3/8" 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 without pre-tapping, reducing installation time
• Phillips pan head with No. 2 drive provides reliable torque transfer and sits flush for smooth surface finishes
• Fully threaded blunt tip ensures maximum grip length and prevents material splitting in thin gauge metals
• Precise No. 21 drill bit compatibility (0.159") enables perfect hole matching for optimal thread engagement
• Environmental compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe, sustainable manufacturing
• Right-hand thread direction with 16 TPI delivers consistent, reliable fastening performance in automated assembly

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 316 stainless steel tapping screws solve critical corrosion and installation challenges in sheet metal fabrication and industrial assembly. The thread forming design (Type B) eliminates the need for separate tapping operations by cold-forming permanent threads directly into pre-drilled materials, significantly reducing labor costs and assembly time. The fully threaded blunt tip construction prevents material deformation in thin-gauge applications while maximizing pull-out resistance. With Phillips pan head drive and precise No. 10-16 thread pitch, these screws deliver consistent torque performance in automated production environments. Ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and marine equipment where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 10-16 x 3/8" tapping screw features inch system measurements with standard Class 2A thread tolerances for reliable fit. The thread forming (Type B) design conforms to industry standards for sheet metal applications, requiring No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter) for proper installation. Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring hazardous substance restriction compliance. The right-hand thread direction with 16 TPI and fully threaded shank provides consistent mechanical performance across industrial fastening applications.
