S-90822A440 Length 5/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Self-drilling capability eliminates pre-drilling steps, saving labor time and reducing tooling requirements in steel, stainless steel, and sheet metal applications
• 410 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability for harsh industrial environments
• Flanged hex head design offers superior bearing surface and prevents pull-through while allowing high torque application with standard tools
• Thread forming BSD type creates strong, permanent threads in parent material without generating chips
• No. 3 drill tip geometry ensures clean hole formation and reliable penetration up to 0.15" thickness
• Fully threaded shank maximizes grip length and distributes clamping force evenly across the entire fastener
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH ensures environmental responsibility and global market acceptance

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 10-16 self-drilling tapping screw delivers exceptional value in metal fabrication and assembly operations. The 410 stainless steel composition maintains structural integrity in corrosive environments, while the thread forming BSD design creates secure, vibration-resistant connections without compromising material strength. The integrated drilling tip penetrates up to 0.15" of steel, stainless steel, and sheet metal, eliminating secondary drilling operations and reducing installation time by up to 50%. The external hex drive combined with the flanged head provides excellent torque transmission and distributes clamping force over a wider area, preventing material deformation and ensuring long-term joint integrity in structural applications.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This 5/8" length tapping screw features a No. 10 size with 16 TPI right-hand threads and 0.19" thread diameter, manufactured to precise dimensional standards. The thread forming tapping method (BSD type) ensures consistent performance in various metal substrates. Compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations confirms environmental responsibility and suitability for global industrial applications. The No. 3 drill tip maintains sharpness through multiple installations, supporting reliable performance in high-volume production environments.
