S-90096A830 10-32 x 5/8" ASME B18.6.3, SAE J933 Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior thread cutting performance in aluminum, brass, cast iron, and sheet metal without pre-tapped holes, reducing installation time and labor costs.
• Enhanced corrosion resistance from zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments.
• Secure and efficient installation with an external hex/slotted drive and flanged head design, providing increased bearing surface and preventing loosening under vibration.
• Reliable fine thread engagement with 10-32 UNF fully threaded design, offering excellent pull-out strength and vibration resistance in softer materials.
• Precision manufacturing compliance with ASME B18.6.3 standards, guaranteeing consistent dimensions and performance for quality-critical applications.
• Environmental regulation adherence with RoHS 3 compliance, ensuring safe use in regulated markets and eco-conscious supply chains.
• Optimized for common drill sizes with recommended 11/64" drill bit, simplifying hole preparation and ensuring proper thread formation.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 10-32 UNF tapping screw is engineered to solve common fastening challenges in aluminum, brass, cast iron, and sheet metal assemblies. Its thread cutting design (Type F) and fully threaded construction create strong, permanent threads in ductile materials, eliminating the need for costly tapped holes and reducing assembly steps. The zinc-plated steel material provides a durable barrier against oxidation and corrosion, extending service life in harsh conditions. The flanged hex head combines the high torque capability of an external hex drive with an integrated washer-like flange, distributing clamp load effectively and resisting sinkage in soft substrates. Ideal for manufacturing, automotive, and metal fabrication, this screw delivers reliable performance where vibration resistance and pull-out strength are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a 10-32 UNF fine thread with a 0.19" thread diameter and 5/8" length, manufactured to ASME B18.6.3 dimensional standards for consistent fit and function. The zinc-plated steel construction meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) compliance for hazardous substance restriction. It is designed for use with an 11/64" (0.1719") drill bit and features a right-hand thread direction and blunt tip for controlled thread cutting. The flanged hex head (0.313" width, 0.151" height) ensures secure drive engagement and clamping performance.
