S-90469A115 Length 16 mm DIN 7504 K, ISO 15480 Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Eliminates pre-drilling requirements with integrated No. 2 drill tip that penetrates up to 0.118" steel and sheet metal
• Superior corrosion resistance through zinc-plated steel construction for extended service life in industrial environments
• Enhanced installation efficiency with external hex drive design providing secure tool engagement and high torque transmission
• Secure fastening without loosening thanks to thread forming technology that creates strong, vibration-resistant connections
• Integrated flange design eliminates need for separate washers while providing larger bearing surface for distributed load
• Full-thread engagement along the 16mm length ensures maximum holding power in demanding applications
• Time and cost savings through combined drilling and tapping operation in single installation step

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M4.2 metric tapping screws deliver exceptional engineering value in steel and sheet metal fabrication where efficiency and reliability are paramount. The zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection for industrial environments, while the thread forming technology creates permanent, high-strength threads in base materials without chip formation. The flanged design with external hex drive streamlines assembly by eliminating separate washers and ensuring positive tool engagement. Particularly valuable in high-volume production, these DIN 7504 K compliant screws with No. 2 drill tip penetrate up to 0.118" materials, significantly reducing installation time and labor costs compared to traditional drilling and tapping methods.
