S-93846A123 Length 3/4" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Eliminates pre-drilling requirements with integrated No. 2 drill tip that penetrates up to 0.175" steel and sheet metal
• Superior corrosion resistance thanks to 18-8 Stainless Steel construction for long-term reliability in harsh environments
• Maximum holding power achieved through fully threaded design and thread forming tapping method
• Streamlined installation with Phillips drive and oval head that provides both secure driving and finished appearance
• Industry-standard compatibility with No. 10-16 BSD thread specification for consistent performance across applications
• Enhanced material integrity through thread forming technology that creates stronger threads without chip removal
• Regulatory compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for global industrial use

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This self-drilling tapping screw delivers exceptional engineering value by eliminating multiple-step fastening processes in steel and sheet metal applications. The 18-8 Stainless Steel construction provides inherent corrosion resistance critical for outdoor, marine, and industrial environments where moisture exposure is common. The integrated No. 2 drill tip with 5/16" length and 82° countersink angle ensures clean penetration through materials up to 0.175" thick without pilot holes, significantly reducing installation time and labor costs. The thread forming BSD design creates precise mating threads through material displacement rather than cutting, resulting in stronger thread engagement and reduced risk of loosening under vibration. The Phillips oval head combines efficient driving torque transfer with a low-profile finish ideal for applications where both performance and aesthetics matter.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 10-16 x 3/4" tapping screw features precision right-hand threads with approximately 16 threads per inch and Class 2A thread tolerances. Manufactured to BSD (Buttress Thread) tapping screw standards with thread forming method for superior performance in metal applications. The fastener is fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental responsibility and unrestricted use in industrial markets worldwide. The combination of 18-8 Stainless Steel material, standardized dimensions, and regulatory compliance makes this screw suitable for demanding industrial applications requiring reliability and conformance.
