S-93882A832 10-32 x 1" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Enhanced corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for long-lasting performance in demanding industrial environments.
• Superior holding power and vibration resistance due to the thread-forming (SW type) design, which creates strong, permanent threads in pre-drilled materials.
• Efficient and versatile installation with an external hex/slotted drive, offering compatibility with both hex wrenches and flat-head screwdrivers for flexibility.
• Eliminates the need for a separate washer thanks to the integrated flange, which provides a larger bearing surface for a more secure and distributed clamp load.
• Reliable fastening in various metals including steel, aluminum, brass, and cast iron, making it a versatile choice for multiple assembly applications.
• Precise fine threading (UNF 10-32) ensures a tighter fit and improved tensile strength compared to coarse threads, reducing the risk of stripping.
• Full threading along the 1" length maximizes grip and engagement depth, providing consistent holding strength from tip to head.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 10-32 zinc-plated steel flanged hex tapping screw is engineered to solve common fastening challenges in metal fabrication and assembly. Its thread-forming design displaces material to create robust, wear-resistant threads without chips, making it ideal for steel, aluminum, brass, and cast iron applications where high pull-out strength is critical. The external hex/slotted drive allows for high-torque installation with standard tools, reducing assembly time and tooling costs. The integrated flange distributes clamping force effectively, preventing surface damage and loosening under vibration, which is essential in automotive, machinery, and sheet metal enclosures. This combination of a UNF fine thread and durable zinc-plated finish ensures reliable, long-term performance in corrosive environments, providing exceptional engineering value for industrial B2B procurement.

Specification Summary & Compliance
