S-92597A401 10-32 x 3/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with green-dyed zinc plating, extending service life in demanding industrial environments.
• Excellent thread-cutting performance in aluminum, brass, sheet metal, and steel, reducing the need for pre-tapped holes and speeding up assembly.
• Enhanced load distribution from the integrated flange design, minimizing surface damage and providing a more secure, vibration-resistant fastening.
• Versatile and efficient drive options with a combined external hex/slotted head, allowing for use with various tools and facilitating installation in confined spaces.
• Precise and reliable fastening with a 10-32 UNF fine thread, ensuring a tight, secure fit and superior resistance to loosening under vibration.
• Full-length threading for maximum grip and holding power along the entire screw length, ideal for a wide range of material thicknesses.
• Streamlined procurement and compliance as these screws are RoHS 3 compliant, meeting stringent environmental regulations for global supply chains.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

Engineered for efficiency, these 10-32 UNF thread cutting screws solve common assembly challenges in metalworking and fabrication. The Type F thread-cutting tip and fine UNF thread form precise, clean threads in ductile materials like aluminum, brass, and sheet metal, eliminating the time and cost associated with tapping operations. The green zinc-plated steel construction provides a durable barrier against corrosion, crucial for components exposed to moisture or harsh conditions. The combination of an external hex/slotted drive and a flange offers superior torque transmission and distributes clamping force over a wider area, preventing pull-through in thin materials and ensuring a reliable, long-lasting connection in steel and non-ferrous metal assemblies.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a 10-32 UNF fine thread with a right-hand thread direction and is fully threaded. It is designed for use with a No. 17 drill bit (0.173" diameter). The fastener is manufactured to standard inch system dimensions and is verified to be RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant, ensuring it is free of hazardous substances for use in regulated markets.
