S-90096A325 10-32 x 1/2" ASME B18.6.3, SAE J933 Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, extending service life in demanding industrial environments
• Enhanced torque transmission through external hex drive design, preventing tool slippage during high-torque installation
• Self-tapping efficiency with thread-cutting Type F design, eliminating need for pre-tapped holes in aluminum, brass, cast iron and sheet metal
• Integrated flange design provides wider bearing surface, distributing clamp load evenly and eliminating need for separate washers
• Precision UNF fine threading ensures tighter fastening and superior vibration resistance in critical assemblies
• Full threading along 1/2" length maximizes engagement depth for stronger, more reliable connections
• Industry compliance assurance with ASME B18.6.3 specifications and RoHS 3 environmental standards

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

Engineered for metal fabrication and assembly operations, this 10-32 zinc-plated steel flanged hex tapping screw solves critical challenges in joining non-ferrous metals and thin materials. The thread-cutting Type F design with blunt tip and UNF fine threads creates precise, clean mating threads in aluminum, brass, and cast iron components without material splitting. The integrated flange eliminates washer requirements while providing superior clamp load distribution—particularly valuable in sheet metal applications where material deformation is a concern. The external hex drive accommodates standard tools for rapid installation in high-volume production environments, while the zinc plating delivers essential corrosion protection for industrial equipment, automotive components, and electrical enclosures exposed to harsh operating conditions.
