S-92597A130 10-32 x 5/16" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior material durability with green-dyed zinc-plated steel offering excellent corrosion resistance for long-lasting performance in harsh industrial environments.
• Efficient thread cutting design as a Type F tapping screw ensures quick, secure installation in materials like aluminum, brass, sheet metal, and steel without pre-tapping.
• Enhanced torque transmission via the external hex/slotted drive allows for high tightening force and easy removal with common tools.
• Secure fastening with flange provides a larger bearing surface, distributing load evenly and reducing the risk of loosening under vibration.
• Fine UNF thread spacing delivers precise engagement and higher strength in applications requiring fine adjustments and reliable hold.
• Full threading with blunt tip ensures consistent grip along the entire length, ideal for varied material thicknesses and simplified alignment.
• Compliance with environmental standards through RoHS 3 adherence, ensuring safe, sustainable use in global manufacturing sectors.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 10-32 UNF thread cutting tapping screw is engineered to address common fastening challenges in industrial settings, such as material fatigue and installation inefficiency. Constructed from green zinc-plated steel, it resists corrosion and wear, extending service life in demanding applications like assembly of aluminum enclosures, brass components, and sheet metal structures. The Type F thread cutting design eliminates the need for separate tapping operations, reducing labor time and costs while providing strong, reliable threads in ductile materials. With an external hex/slotted drive, it ensures maximum torque application without stripping, and the flange adds stability to prevent sinking or damage to soft surfaces. Ideal for steel, aluminum, and brass fastening, this screw streamlines production lines and enhances structural integrity in automotive, electronics, and machinery sectors.
