S-90064A714 Length 3/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding industrial environments.
• Efficient installation and secure hold through thread forming technology that creates strong, reliable threads in steel and sheet metal without pre-tapping.
• High torque application capability with an external hex drive and hex head design, allowing for easy and secure driving with standard tools.
• Integrated drilling tip eliminates the need for pre-drilling, saving time and labor by penetrating up to 0.08" thickness in metal.
• Enhanced load distribution and vibration resistance from the flanged design, providing a wider bearing surface for stable assemblies.
• Full threading along the 3/8" length ensures maximum grip and uniform stress distribution in various material thicknesses.
• Precise 24 TPI thread pitch delivers excellent holding power and reduces the risk of stripping in high-stress applications.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 4 zinc-plated steel tapping screws are engineered to address common challenges in metal fabrication, such as the need for speed and reliability in high-volume assembly. The thread forming design and BSD tapping screw type create durable, tight-fitting threads in steel and sheet metal, minimizing loosening under vibration. The integrated drilling tip (No. 2 type) allows direct penetration into materials up to 0.08" thick, reducing labor and tooling costs. Combined with the external hex drive and flanged feature, these screws ensure quick, secure installations in automotive, HVAC, and machinery sectors, enhancing overall assembly efficiency and structural integrity.
