S-90469A137 Length 22 mm DIN 7504 K, ISO 15480 Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Eliminates pre-drilling with integrated 10mm drill tip that penetrates up to 0.207" thick steel and sheet metal, reducing installation time and labor costs.
• Superior corrosion resistance through zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments.
• High-strength thread forming (BSD type) creates durable, vibration-resistant threads in parent material for secure, permanent fastening.
• Flanged hex head design provides increased bearing surface and eliminates the need for separate washers, while the external hex drive allows for high-torque installation.
• Full threading along the 22mm length ensures maximum grip and uniform stress distribution across the entire fastened joint.
• Guaranteed dimensional precision and performance compliance with DIN 7504 K standards for consistent, reliable fastening in metric applications.
• Environmentally responsible manufacturing with full compliance to RoHS 3 and REACH regulations, meeting global environmental and safety standards.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M5.5 metric tapping screws are precision-engineered for demanding applications in steel and sheet metal fabrication. The zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection, while the thread forming design (BSD type) displaces material to form strong, strip-resistant threads without generating chips. This is critical in electrical enclosures, automotive assemblies, and metal framing where debris contamination must be avoided. The combination of a flanged head and external hex drive ensures secure seating and enables high clamping force application with standard tools, solving common issues of joint loosening under dynamic loads. The fully threaded right-hand shank and specialized drill tip allow for rapid installation in materials up to 5.26mm (0.207") thick, significantly streamlining production lines and reducing total assembly costs.

Specification Summary & Compliance
