S-94209A085 6-32 x 3/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, ensuring long-term durability in demanding industrial environments
• Enhanced torque transmission and reduced cam-out thanks to the Torx Plus IP15 drive system, providing reliable installation and minimizing tool wear
• Excellent thread-forming capability in softer materials like aluminum, brass, and copper due to the tri-lobe shank design, creating strong, permanent threads without pre-tapping
• Wide material compatibility with UNC coarse threads and blunt tip, ideal for various non-ferrous metal applications requiring secure fastening
• Optimized installation efficiency with fully threaded 3/8" length and pan head design, allowing for quick assembly and consistent clamping force
• Compliance with international environmental standards including RoHS 3 and REACH, ensuring safe and sustainable use in global supply chains
• Precise dimensional accuracy with controlled length tolerance, guaranteeing reliable performance and interchangeability in automated assembly systems

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These zinc-plated steel Torx Plus tapping screws are engineered specifically for thread-forming applications in non-ferrous metals like aluminum, brass, and copper. The tri-lobe shank design displaces material during installation, creating strong, vibration-resistant threads without the need for pre-tapped holes—significantly reducing assembly time and labor costs. The Torx Plus IP15 drive delivers superior torque transfer, preventing cam-out and strip-out common in Phillips drives, while the UNC coarse thread ensures quick engagement and reliable holding power in softer materials. Ideal for electrical enclosures, HVAC systems, and automotive components, these screws provide exceptional corrosion resistance and long-term performance in harsh environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance
