S-95901A245 Length 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Exceptional corrosion resistance with 410 Stainless Steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments and long-term reliability.
• Superior thread-forming performance with Type B thread forming technology, creating strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping.
• Optimized drive engagement via the Phillips No. 2 drive, reducing cam-out and ensuring efficient, secure installation with standard tools.
• Full-length threading maximizes grip and load distribution across the entire fastener length for enhanced joint integrity.
• Broad material compatibility with a blunt tip and right-hand thread, designed specifically for reliable fastening in various sheet metal thicknesses.
• Regulatory compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards, meeting strict environmental and safety regulations for global supply chains.
• Precision dimensional fit with a 0.373" pan head and 1/2" length, ensuring consistent performance and easy integration into designed assemblies.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 10-16 x 1/2" tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal fabrication, such as material fatigue and corrosion. The 410 Stainless Steel provides excellent strength and resistance to oxidation, making it suitable for outdoor or humid environments. Its thread-forming (Type B) design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing assembly time and minimizing the risk of cross-threading. The Phillips pan head offers a low-profile, secure fit that sits flush against surfaces, while the fully threaded shank ensures uniform stress distribution. Ideal for HVAC systems, electronic enclosures, and automotive panels, this screw delivers reliable performance where vibration resistance and durability are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw adheres to standard inch measurements with a No. 10-16 thread (0.19" diameter, 16 TPI) and a 1/2" length. The pan head features a 0.373" diameter and 0.133" height, compatible with a No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter) for precise pilot holes. It conforms to RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring it is free of restricted hazardous substances and safe for industrial use. Manufactured with a blunt tip and right-hand thread, it is designed for thread-forming applications in sheet metal, providing consistent, high-strength fastening without additional processing.
