S-92715A630 Length 1" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Eliminates pre-drilling requirements with integrated drill tip that penetrates up to 0.098" thickness in steel and sheet metal
• Superior corrosion protection through black zinc-plated steel construction for extended service life in industrial environments
• Enhanced load distribution with integrated flat washer that prevents surface damage and maintains joint integrity
• Optimized thread engagement through fully threaded design that provides maximum holding power in various materials
• Secure installation control with Phillips No. 2 drive that ensures consistent torque application and reduces cam-out
• Reliable thread forming action using BSD tapping method that creates strong, vibration-resistant connections
• Broad material compatibility for steel, fabric, and sheet metal applications without requiring different fastener types

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 8 tapping screw with 3/16" drill tip addresses critical installation challenges in industrial assembly operations. The thread forming BSD design creates permanent, high-strength threads in steel and sheet metal without tapping operations, significantly reducing labor time and tooling requirements. The black zinc-plated steel construction provides essential corrosion resistance for demanding environments, while the integrated flat washer distributes clamping force evenly to prevent material deformation. Engineers specify these fully threaded screws for applications requiring rapid installation in fabric, steel, and sheet metal assemblies where vibration resistance and structural integrity are paramount. The combination of drill tip technology and thread forming capability makes these screws ideal for high-volume production environments seeking to eliminate secondary operations.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This 0.164" thread diameter No. 8 tapping screw features precision right-hand threads with approximately 18 threads per inch, manufactured to industry standards for thread forming applications. The screw incorporates a No. 2 Phillips drive with standardized dimensions for compatibility with industrial power tools. The product meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) compliance requirements, ensuring environmental safety standards for industrial use. The zinc-plated steel washer (0.493" OD) provides consistent performance across all fastening applications in steel, fabric, and sheet metal substrates.
