S-90064A360 Length 1" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Eliminates pre-drilling requirements with integrated drilling tip that penetrates up to 0.098" thick steel and sheet metal
• Superior corrosion resistance through zinc-plated steel construction for extended service life in industrial environments
• Enhanced torque transmission and tool engagement with external hex drive and flanged hex head design
• Secure thread-forming fastening creates strong, vibration-resistant connections in metal substrates
• Time-saving installation through combined drilling and tapping action in single operation
• Reliable performance in demanding applications with fully threaded shank for maximum grip length
• Industry-standard compatibility with BSD tapping screw specifications for consistent performance

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

Engineered for steel and sheet metal fabrication, these No. 8-18 thread forming screws deliver exceptional value in industrial assembly operations. The zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection while maintaining high tensile strength. The flanged hex head design with external drive ensures maximum torque transfer during installation, preventing cam-out and reducing tool wear. The integrated No. 2 drilling tip eliminates the need for separate drilling operations, significantly reducing labor time and potential alignment errors. These BSD tapping screws create permanent, vibration-resistant threads in metal substrates through cold forming, resulting in stronger connections than conventional cutting screws. The fully threaded design ensures consistent clamping force distribution across the entire fastened joint.

Specification Summary & Compliance
