S-93195A426 Length 3/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments.
• Excellent thread-forming capability with Type B design, creating strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping.
• Optimal flush installation featuring an undercut flat head with 82° countersink angle for smooth, secure seating in materials.
• Maximum driving efficiency with Phillips No. 2 drive, reducing cam-out and providing consistent torque application.
• Enhanced holding power through fully threaded design, distributing load evenly along the entire 3/8" length.
• Precision compatibility with No. 21 drill bit (0.159" diameter), ensuring proper hole sizing for secure fastening.
• Regulatory compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards, meeting strict environmental and safety requirements.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 10-16 thread forming screw delivers exceptional performance in sheet metal applications where vibration resistance and permanent fastening are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for outdoor equipment, electrical enclosures, and HVAC systems. The Type B thread forming design eliminates the need for tapped holes, reducing installation time and labor costs while creating stronger thread engagement than cutting alternatives. The fully threaded configuration ensures maximum pull-out strength across the entire fastener length, while the undercut flat head with 82° countersink sits flush to prevent snagging and improve aesthetics. These industrial fasteners maintain integrity in high-stress environments, offering reliable performance where other fasteners might fail.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This tapping screw features a No. 10-16 thread with right-hand direction and fully threaded design, manufactured to precise dimensional standards including 0.19" thread diameter and 16 threads per inch. The flat head configuration includes a 0.362" diameter with undercut profile and 82° countersink angle for proper seating. Compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and restricted substance compliance for industrial applications worldwide.
