Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These Type B thread forming screws are engineered specifically for sheet metal assembly applications where reliable, permanent fastening is critical. The zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection in industrial environments, while the thread forming design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, significantly reducing assembly time and labor costs. The Phillips drive system ensures consistent installation torque without cam-out issues, and the fully threaded 5/8" length delivers maximum holding power across the entire engagement area. These tapping screws are particularly valuable in HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and metal fabrication where vibration resistance and long-term reliability are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 10-16 thread forming screw features precise 0.19" thread diameter with 16 TPI right-hand threading and Class 2A thread tolerances for consistent performance. The fastener meets industry standards for Type B thread forming screws and is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and regulatory acceptance across global markets. Manufactured to exacting specifications for use with No. 21 drill bits (0.159" diameter), these screws deliver reliable performance in professional sheet metal applications.
