S-90056A146 Length 3/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding industrial environments
• Effortless installation through thread forming technology that creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping
• Enhanced driving stability with Phillips No. 2 drive and pan head design, preventing cam-out and ensuring secure fastening
• Optimal material displacement with blunt tip and fully threaded design, reducing installation torque while maintaining holding power
• Precise fit and reliable performance with standardized No. 6-20 thread configuration (0.138" diameter, 20 TPI)
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe use in regulated industries
• Time-saving installation with compatible No. 32 drill bit size (0.116" diameter) for streamlined assembly processes

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These zinc-plated steel tapping screws deliver exceptional value in sheet metal applications where vibration resistance and permanent fastening are critical. The thread forming Type B design creates precise mating threads through material displacement rather than cutting, eliminating chips and ensuring stronger thread engagement in thin materials. The Phillips pan head configuration provides excellent torque transmission while maintaining a low-profile appearance. Engineered with fully threaded right-hand orientation and blunt tip design, these screws minimize installation stress while maximizing pull-out resistance, making them ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, automotive components, and industrial machinery where reliable sheet metal fastening is essential for structural integrity.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 6-20 x 3/8" tapping screw features standard inch measurements with precise thread dimensions (0.138" diameter, 20 TPI) and complies with industry-standard thread forming specifications for Type B tapping screws. The product meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) compliance for restricted substance control and REACH (EC 1907/2006) compliance for chemical safety, ensuring environmental responsibility in industrial applications. Manufactured to consistent quality standards with zinc-plated steel construction for corrosion protection and fully threaded design for maximum holding power in sheet metal substrates.
