S-93195A429 Length 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with 18-8 stainless steel construction, ideal for harsh industrial environments
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in sheet metal without pre-tapping
• Precise flush installation with undercut flat head and 82° countersink angle for smooth surface finish
• Reliable driving performance through Phillips No. 2 drive that resists cam-out during installation
• Full threading along entire length ensures maximum grip strength and load distribution
• Regulatory compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe industrial use
• Optimized drill bit pairing with No. 21 size (0.159") for precise hole preparation and secure fastening

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These Type B thread forming screws deliver exceptional value in sheet metal applications where vibration resistance and permanent fastening are critical. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides excellent corrosion resistance, making these tapping screws suitable for outdoor equipment, electrical enclosures, and HVAC systems. The flat undercut head with 82° countersink angle ensures a flush finish that eliminates protrusions in assembled products. The thread forming technology displaces material rather than removing it, creating stronger thread engagement that withstands loosening under dynamic loads. This Phillips drive configuration offers reliable installation with standard tools while the fully threaded design maximizes holding power across the entire fastener length.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 10-16 x 1/2" tapping screw features standard inch measurements with Type B thread forming profile and right-hand threading. The screw maintains precise dimensional accuracy with 0.19" thread diameter and 16 threads per inch for consistent performance. Manufacturing complies with industry standards for flat head tapping screws, including the specified 82° countersink angle and undercut head profile. The product is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and regulatory acceptance for industrial procurement.
