S-90056A143 Length 3/16" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for extended service life in industrial environments
• Excellent thread-forming capability with Type B design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping
• Enhanced driving efficiency with No. 2 Phillips drive providing secure tool engagement and reduced cam-out risk
• Optimal material displacement from blunt tip design minimizes stress concentration in thin sheet metal applications
• Maximum holding power through fully threaded design ensuring consistent clamping force along entire fastener length
• Precise thread engagement with 20 threads per inch delivering reliable performance in demanding fastening applications
• Environmental compliance assurance with RoHS 3 certification for safe use across regulated industries

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These zinc-plated steel tapping screws are specifically engineered for sheet metal applications where reliable fastening is critical. The Type B thread forming design eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes, reducing installation time and labor costs while creating strong, permanent threads that resist loosening under vibration. The Phillips pan head with No. 2 drive size provides excellent torque transmission and sits flush against surfaces, making these industrial screws ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and metal fabrication projects. With 20 threads per inch precision and fully threaded construction, they ensure uniform stress distribution and maximum pull-out resistance in thin-gauge materials, solving common challenges of strip-out and joint failure in demanding industrial settings.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 6 x 3/16" tapping screw features a 0.138" thread diameter with standard inch measurements and right-hand threading. Manufactured to precise dimensional tolerances with a rounded pan head profile and blunt tip configuration, the fastener is engineered for use with No. 32 drill bits (0.116" diameter) in sheet metal applications. The product is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use across various industrial sectors while maintaining consistent performance standards for thread-forming fasteners.
