S-90469A144 Length 60 mm DIN 7504 K, ISO 15480 Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Eliminates pre-drilling requirements with integrated drill tip that penetrates up to 0.207" thick steel and sheet metal
• Superior corrosion resistance provided by zinc-plated steel construction for extended service life in industrial environments
• Enhanced driving efficiency through external hex head design that prevents cam-out and allows high torque application
• Secure fastening performance with flanged design that distributes load evenly and eliminates need for separate washers
• Optimal thread engagement through fully threaded shank and thread-forming BSD design that creates strong, permanent connections
• Reliable material compatibility specifically engineered for steel and sheet metal applications with No. 3 drill tip geometry
• Streamlined installation process combining drilling and tapping operations in single step to reduce assembly time and labor costs

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These M5.5 metric tapping screws deliver exceptional value in industrial fastening applications where efficiency and reliability are paramount. The zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion protection for demanding environments, while the thread-forming BSD design creates permanent, vibration-resistant connections in steel and sheet metal substrates. The integrated drill tip eliminates the time-consuming pre-drilling step, significantly reducing installation time and labor costs in high-volume manufacturing operations. The flanged hex head configuration ensures secure driving with standard tools and distributes clamping force effectively, preventing material deformation in thin-gauge applications. Engineered to DIN 7504 K / ISO 15480 standards, these screws maintain consistent performance across automotive, metal fabrication, and industrial equipment assembly where reliable fastening is critical to structural integrity.
