Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

  • Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for extended service life in demanding industrial environments
  • Excellent thread-cutting performance in aluminum, brass, cast iron and sheet metal without requiring pre-tapped holes
  • Enhanced driving efficiency with No. 2 Phillips drive design for secure installation and reduced cam-out risk
  • Optimal material engagement through coarse UNC threading that provides superior holding power in various substrates
  • Reliable fastening integrity with fully threaded shank design ensuring consistent clamping force along the entire length
  • Streamlined installation process using standard No. 31 drill bits (0.12" diameter) for precise hole preparation
  • Industry-standard compliance meeting ASME B18.6.3 specifications and RoHS 3 environmental regulations

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 6-32 UNC zinc-plated steel tapping screws deliver exceptional engineering value by solving critical fastening challenges in metalworking applications. The specialized thread cutting design (Type F) enables direct installation into aluminum, brass, cast iron, and sheet metal without separate tapping operations, significantly reducing assembly time and labor costs. The coarse UNC threading provides maximum resistance to vibration loosening while the zinc-plated steel construction ensures reliable performance in environments where corrosion resistance is essential. The No. 2 Phillips drive and pan head design offer optimal torque transmission and surface contact, making these tapping screws ideal for electrical enclosures, machinery panels, and automotive components where secure, permanent fastening is required.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These 5/16" length tapping screws feature precise 6-32 UNC coarse threads with standard Class 2A thread tolerances for consistent performance. Manufacturing strictly adheres to ASME B18.6.3 specifications (SAE J933) ensuring dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties. The products are fully RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) compliant and manufactured using environmentally responsible processes. The Type F thread cutting design is optimized for use with No. 31 drill bits (0.12" diameter) in the specified materials, providing engineers with reliable, standardized fastening solutions.
