S-93882A233 6-32 x 3/8" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction, extending service life in demanding industrial environments.
• High-strength thread forming creates durable, reliable threads in materials like steel and aluminum without pre-tapped holes.
• Efficient external hex drive allows for high-torque installation with common tools, speeding up assembly processes.
• Integrated flange design distributes clamping force evenly, reducing the risk of material damage and improving joint integrity.
• Coarse UNC thread ensures quick, secure fastening in softer metals and sheet metal, minimizing cross-threading risks.
• Fully threaded blunt tip provides consistent holding power along the entire length for stable connections.
• Precise compatibility with No. 31 drill bit (0.12" diameter) simplifies hole preparation and ensures optimal thread engagement.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 6-32 zinc-plated steel flanged hex tapping screws are engineered to solve common fastening challenges in metalworking and assembly. The thread forming design eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes, cutting labor time and costs in materials like steel, aluminum, brass, cast iron, and sheet metal. The external hex drive supports high-torque applications, ensuring tight, vibration-resistant joints in machinery, enclosures, and structural components. With a coarse UNC thread and flanged head, they provide excellent pull-out resistance and distribute load effectively, reducing stress concentrations. This makes them ideal for repetitive industrial use where durability and efficiency are critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This screw features a No. 6 size with 6-32 UNC coarse thread, right-hand direction, and full threading for consistent performance. Dimensions include a 1/4" head width, 3/8" length, and 0.328" flange diameter, adhering to standard inch measurements. It is designed for use with a No. 31 drill bit (0.12" diameter) and complies with industry standards for thread forming screws. The zinc-plated finish meets common corrosion resistance requirements, and manufacturing follows typical quality controls for industrial fasteners, though specific RoHS or REACH compliance should be verified per batch.
