Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

  • Superior thread cutting performance with Type F design ensures clean, secure threads in aluminum, brass, cast iron, and sheet metal without pre-tapping
  • Enhanced corrosion resistance from zinc plating provides long-lasting protection in industrial environments
  • High-torque capability with external hex drive and flanged head design prevents cam-out and distributes clamping force evenly
  • Optimized for tough materials with UNC coarse threads that resist loosening under vibration and thermal cycling
  • Full threading and blunt tip enables maximum engagement depth and prevents material splitting
  • Precision manufacturing ensures consistent performance and reliable installation with standard No. 31 drill bits
  • Industry compliance meets ASME B18.6.3/SAE J933 standards and RoHS 3 environmental regulations

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 6-32 UNC thread cutting tapping screws deliver exceptional engineering value in demanding industrial applications. The zinc-plated steel construction combined with the Type F cutting design solves critical fastening challenges in aluminum, brass, cast iron, and sheet metal assemblies. The coarse UNC threads provide superior pull-out resistance in soft materials, while the flanged hex head eliminates the need for separate washers and prevents surface damage. This combination addresses common issues of thread stripping, vibration loosening, and corrosion in industrial fastening applications, making them ideal for machinery, electrical enclosures, and metal fabrication where reliability is paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

Manufactured to precise UNC thread standards with Class 2A fit tolerance, these screws feature a 6-32 thread size with coarse spacing and full threading. The flanged hex head measures 1/4" across flats with 0.118" height, while the overall length is 3/8". Compliance includes ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J933 specifications for dimensional accuracy and performance. Environmental compliance is confirmed with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) adherence, ensuring these thread cutting screws meet the highest industry standards for quality and safety.
