S-93195A325 Length 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh environments and long-term reliability.
• Excellent thread retention through thread forming technology, creating strong, vibration-resistant assemblies in sheet metal.
• Effortless installation and flush finish with a standard 82° flat head and Phillips No. 2 drive, reducing assembly time and improving aesthetics.
• Full-length threading ensures maximum grip and uniform load distribution along the entire fastener length.
• Precise fit and reduced preparation with a designated No. 29 drill bit size (0.136" diameter), minimizing hole misalignment.
• Environmental and regulatory compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards, ensuring safe use in global industrial markets.
• Durable performance in sheet metal applications, providing reliable fastening without pre-tapped holes.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 8 x 1/2" Phillips flat head tapping screw is engineered to address common challenges in sheet metal assembly, such as material fatigue and loosening under stress. The 18-8 stainless steel offers exceptional corrosion resistance, crucial for outdoor or humid settings, while the thread forming Type B design displaces material to form strong, permanent threads without cutting, which reduces chip accumulation and enhances joint integrity. The fully threaded blunt tip and standard 82° countersink enable quick, flush installations in pre-drilled holes, streamlining production lines and minimizing rework. Ideal for HVAC, electronics enclosures, and automotive panels, this screw ensures reliable performance where vibration resistance and durability are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw adheres to standard inch measurements with a thread diameter of 0.164" and 18 threads per inch, ensuring precise fits in sheet metal applications. It features a flat head with an 82° countersink angle, Phillips No. 2 drive, and fully threaded shank for consistent performance. Compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006), confirming it is free of hazardous substances and suitable for industrial use globally.
