S-94060A162 Length 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for extended service life in demanding industrial environments
• Efficient installation with thread forming technology that creates strong, permanent threads without pre-drilling in steel and sheet metal
• Enhanced drilling capability with integrated No. 2 drill tip that penetrates up to 0.08" thick materials
• Maximum holding power through fully threaded design that provides consistent engagement along the entire screw length
• Secure fastening with Phillips #2 drive that prevents cam-out during installation while maintaining tool compatibility
• Optimized head design with pan head profile that sits flush against surfaces while providing ample drive engagement
• Environmental compliance with RoHS 3 standards ensuring safe, regulated materials for industrial applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 5 zinc-plated steel tapping screws deliver exceptional performance in steel and sheet metal applications where traditional fastening methods fall short. The thread forming technology eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing installation time and labor costs while creating stronger, more reliable threads that resist vibration loosening. The integrated drill tip penetrates materials up to 0.08" thick, making them ideal for assembly lines requiring rapid fastening without pre-drilling. The zinc-plated finish provides crucial corrosion protection in industrial environments, while the fully threaded design ensures maximum grip length for superior pull-out resistance. These BSD tapping screws are engineered specifically for metal fabrication, HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and automotive assemblies where durability and installation efficiency are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These tapping screws feature precision 0.125" thread diameter with 20 threads per inch in right-hand orientation, manufactured to BSD standards for consistent performance. The thread forming design creates secure, permanent threads in base materials without chip formation. All screws are RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant, meeting international environmental regulations for industrial components. The 1/2" length provides optimal fastening depth for standard sheet metal thicknesses, while the pan head design with Phillips #2 drive ensures compatibility with common installation tools.
