S-93882A148 6-32 x 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Enhanced corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, extending service life in demanding industrial environments.
• Superior thread forming capability for reliable, permanent fastening in steel, aluminum, brass, cast iron, and sheet metal without pre-tapped holes.
• Integrated flange design eliminates the need for a separate washer, providing a larger bearing surface and preventing pull-through.
• Versatile dual-drive system with external hex/slotted head offers flexible installation using standard hex wrenches or screwdrivers.
• Coarse UNC threading ensures quick installation and high resistance to vibration loosening in various materials.
• Full threading along the 1/2" length maximizes grip and load distribution across the entire fastener engagement.
• Compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations guarantees safe, environmentally responsible use in global industrial supply chains.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 6-32 zinc-plated steel flanged hex tapping screw is engineered to solve critical fastening challenges in metal fabrication and assembly. Its thread forming design creates strong, precise mating threads in ductile materials like steel, aluminum, brass, cast iron, and sheet metal, eliminating the cost and time associated with tapping operations. The flanged head distributes clamping force evenly, reducing surface damage and maintaining joint integrity under dynamic loads. With a blunt tip and coarse UNC thread, it provides excellent drive-to-fail torque performance and rapid installation in high-volume production lines. Ideal for electrical enclosures, machinery frames, and automotive components, this screw ensures durable, vibration-resistant connections that meet rigorous industrial standards.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a No. 6-32 UNC coarse thread with a diameter of 0.138" and full threading along its 1/2" length. It is designed for use with a No. 31 drill bit (0.12" diameter) and conforms to standard thread forming specifications for metal applications. The product is manufactured in compliance with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring adherence to environmental and safety requirements for industrial components.
