S-90056A196 Length 5/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for extended service life in demanding industrial environments
• Efficient thread forming capability with Type B design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping
• Optimized driving performance through Phillips No. 2 drive system prevents cam-out and ensures secure installation
• Maximum thread engagement with fully threaded design provides superior holding power across the entire fastener length
• Enhanced load distribution from pan head profile creates wider bearing surface for improved clamping force
• Precision blunt tip design allows for easier starting and reduces material displacement during installation
• Environmental compliance assurance with RoHS 3 certification for safe, regulated industrial use

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

Engineered specifically for sheet metal applications, these No. 8-18 thread forming screws deliver exceptional performance where traditional fasteners fall short. The zinc-plated steel construction provides critical corrosion protection in manufacturing environments, while the Type B thread forming technology eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes, significantly reducing installation time and labor costs. The Phillips No. 2 drive system ensures reliable torque transfer without stripping, and the fully threaded blunt tip design minimizes material stress during insertion. These tapping screws are ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, automotive panels, and industrial equipment where vibration resistance and long-term reliability are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 8-18 x 5/8" tapping screw features precision 0.164" thread diameter with 18 threads per inch and standard Class 2A thread tolerances.
