S-93882A827 10-32 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.
• Efficient thread forming design creates strong, permanent threads in materials like steel, aluminum, and brass without pre-tapping.
• Versatile external hex/slotted drive allows for both wrench and screwdriver applications, providing flexible installation options.
• Flanged head design eliminates the need for separate washers, distributing clamping force evenly and speeding up assembly.
• Precision UNF fine threading delivers superior vibration resistance and secure fastening in high-stress applications.
• Full threading along the 3/8" length maximizes grip strength and load distribution across the entire fastener.
• Compatible with standard No. 17 drill bits for quick, accurate hole preparation and reduced installation time.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These 10-32 zinc-plated steel flanged hex tapping screws are engineered to solve critical assembly challenges in metalworking and manufacturing. The thread forming (SW type) design displaces material rather than cutting it, creating stronger threads that resist loosening under vibration – a common failure point in machinery and equipment. The UNF fine thread configuration provides superior clamping force in thin-section materials like sheet metal, aluminum extrusions, and brass components. With fully threaded blunt tips, these screws ensure maximum engagement in pre-drilled holes using standard No. 17 drill bits, eliminating thread stripping and reducing installation errors. The combination of external hex/slotted drive and integrated flange makes these fasteners ideal for high-volume production environments where speed, reliability, and consistent performance are essential.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These tapping screws feature precision 10-32 UNF fine threads with a thread diameter of 0.19" and are fully threaded along the 3/8" length. Manufactured to SW tapping screw standards for thread forming applications, they're designed for use with No. 17 drill bits (0.173" diameter). The products are fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring they meet the latest international standards for hazardous substance restrictions.
