S-92115A236 Length 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with black zinc-plated steel construction, extending service life in demanding industrial environments
• Efficient thread forming action creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without chips or debris
• Optimized installation performance with Phillips No. 2 drive for secure torque transfer and reduced cam-out risk
• Maximum holding power through fully threaded design and blunt tip for consistent engagement in thin materials
• Precise fit and compatibility with No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter) for accurate hole preparation in sheet metal applications
• Enhanced durability with rounded pan head profile distributing clamp load evenly across fastened surfaces
• Regulatory compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 standards for environmentally responsible manufacturing

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 10-16 thread forming screws deliver exceptional engineering value in sheet metal fabrication and industrial assembly applications. The black zinc-plated steel construction provides reliable corrosion protection in challenging environments, while the Type B thread forming design eliminates tapping operations by cold-forming mating threads directly into materials. This creates superior pull-out resistance and vibration-proof connections without generating metal chips that could compromise electrical components or precision mechanisms. The fully threaded configuration and blunt tip ensure maximum thread engagement in thin-gauge materials, making these Phillips pan head screws ideal for HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, automotive components, and machinery assemblies where reliable fastening in sheet metal is critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 10-16 x 1/2" tapping screw features inch system measurements with right-hand threading and standard Class 2A thread tolerances. The screw conforms to thread forming Type B specifications with a pan head style measuring 0.373" diameter and 0.133" height. Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) regulations, ensuring environmental responsibility while maintaining the mechanical properties required for industrial sheet metal applications. The specified No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter) provides optimal hole preparation for maximum thread engagement and holding strength.
