S-92525A912 Length 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 316 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh environments and extended service life in sheet metal applications.
• Excellent holding power through thread forming technology that creates strong, permanent threads without pre-tapping, reducing assembly time and tooling needs.
• Reliable drive engagement with a No. 2 Phillips pan head design, providing a secure fit and reducing the risk of cam-out during installation.
• Full-length threading ensures consistent grip and load distribution along the entire 1/2" length for enhanced fastening integrity.
• Optimized compatibility with a No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter) for precise hole preparation, ensuring proper thread engagement and screw performance.
• Environmental and regulatory compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards, guaranteeing safe use in industrial and international markets.
• Standardized dimensions including a 0.19" thread diameter and 16 threads per inch, ensuring interchangeability and reliable performance in Class 2A fit applications.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 10-16 x 1/2" tapping screw is engineered for demanding sheet metal fastening where corrosion resistance and joint reliability are critical. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, it withstands exposure to chemicals, moisture, and extreme temperatures, making it suitable for HVAC, automotive, and marine industries. The thread forming design displaces material to create robust internal threads, eliminating chips and providing vibration-resistant connections. The Phillips pan head with a No. 2 drive offers efficient installation, while the blunt tip and fully threaded shank ensure smooth engagement and uniform stress distribution. This screw solves common issues like galvanic corrosion and thread stripping, delivering long-term performance in structural and enclosure assemblies.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw adheres to standard inch measurements with a thread diameter of 0.19" and 16 threads per inch, conforming to typical Class 2A tolerance for reliable fit. The thread forming (Type B) tapping method and right-hand threading follow industry practices for sheet metal fastening. It is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring the absence of restricted hazardous substances. Designed for use with a No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter), it meets common engineering specifications for hole preparation in industrial applications.
