Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 410 stainless steel tapping screws with Type 23/T thread cutting design solve critical assembly challenges in metalworking and manufacturing. The specialized thread cutting action creates precise mating threads in brass, cast iron, and sheet metal without causing material stress fractures. The coarse UNC 6-32 threading provides exceptional pull-out resistance while the Phillips pan head design offers a flush finish that minimizes protrusion in confined spaces. Engineered for high-volume production environments, these self-tapping screws reduce installation time by up to 40% compared to traditional fastening methods, making them ideal for automotive components, electrical enclosures, and industrial equipment assembly where durability and efficiency are paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This 6-32 x 1/4" tapping screw features precision UNC coarse threading with standard manufacturing tolerances and fully threaded shank design. The fastener complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use in regulated industries. Designed for use with No. 31 drill bit (0.12" diameter), the screw maintains consistent thread cutting performance across multiple installation cycles while meeting industrial quality standards for dimensional accuracy and material integrity.
