S-90822A146 Length 3/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Eliminates pre-drilling requirements with integrated drilling tip that penetrates up to 0.035" thickness in steel and sheet metal
• Superior corrosion resistance provided by 410 stainless steel construction for demanding industrial environments
• Enhanced installation efficiency through external hex drive design that prevents cam-out during high-torque applications
• Secure thread formation with BSD thread forming technology that creates strong, vibration-resistant connections
• Increased bearing surface area from integrated flange design that distributes load and prevents pull-through
• Full-length threading ensures maximum grip length and consistent fastening performance throughout the entire shank
• Environmental compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations for use in regulated industries and global markets

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 410 stainless steel flanged tapping screws deliver exceptional value in metal fabrication and assembly operations where thread forming capability and corrosion resistance are critical. The precision drilling tip eliminates the time and cost associated with pre-drilling operations while maintaining material integrity in steel, stainless steel, and sheet metal applications. The external hex drive provides reliable torque transmission for high-volume production environments, while the flanged design offers superior clamping force distribution that prevents material deformation. Engineered for BSD thread forming technology, these screws create permanent, vibration-resistant threads that maintain integrity under dynamic loading conditions common in industrial equipment and metal enclosures.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 6 x 3/8" tapping screw features a 0.138" thread diameter with 20 TPI right-hand threads and fully threaded configuration for maximum engagement. The screw meets thread forming standards for BSD type fasteners and complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations. The flanged hex head design provides a 0.328" bearing surface, while the No. 1 drill tip ensures consistent penetration performance in materials up to 0.035" thickness without pilot holes.
