S-92485A624 8-32 x 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Self-tapping efficiency: Thread cutting design eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes, reducing installation time and labor costs in brass, cast iron, and sheet metal.
• Corrosion-resistant durability: Made from 410 stainless steel for reliable performance in demanding industrial environments, minimizing rust and maintenance.
• Secure flush mounting: Flat head with 82° countersink angle ensures a smooth, level surface finish and prevents snagging in assembled components.
• Optimized drive engagement: Phillips No. 2 drive provides consistent torque transfer, reducing cam-out and screw head damage during installation.
• Robust coarse threading: 8-32 UNC coarse threads deliver excellent holding power and vibration resistance in softer materials.
• Full-threaded strength: Fully threaded shank maximizes grip length and distributes load evenly for enhanced fastening integrity.
• Environmental compliance assurance: Meets RoHS 3 and REACH standards, ensuring safe use in regulated industries and global markets.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These thread cutting tapping screws are precision-engineered to address common fastening challenges in metalworking and assembly. The 410 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, crucial for components exposed to moisture or harsh conditions. The F-type tapping screw design with coarse UNC threads creates strong, permanent threads in brass, cast iron, and sheet metal without requiring pre-tapped holes, significantly reducing installation time and tooling costs. The flat head profile with standard 82° countersink ensures a flush fit, preventing interference in tight spaces while the Phillips No. 2 drive offers reliable torque application. These features make them ideal for industrial equipment, automotive components, and electrical enclosures where vibration resistance and long-term reliability are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This No. 8 screw features 8-32 UNC coarse threads with right-hand direction and full threading along the 1/2" length. The standard flat head has a 0.312" diameter and 0.1" height, designed for use with a No. 26 drill bit (0.147" diameter). Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring restriction of hazardous substances for safe industrial use worldwide.
