Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 4 x 3/8" 410 Stainless Steel tapping screws deliver exceptional engineering value in plastic assembly applications. The DST thread forming technology eliminates the need for separate tapping operations while creating strong, vibration-resistant threads that won't strip or loosen over time. The Phillips pan head design with standard rounded profile ensures consistent flush mounting without damaging delicate plastic surfaces. Manufactured from 410 Stainless Steel, these fasteners maintain structural integrity in humid or corrosive environments where other materials would fail. The fully threaded construction with 24 TPI provides maximum engagement depth, making them ideal for securing electronic enclosures, automotive trim, and consumer product assemblies where reliability is critical.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This precision fastener features a 0.112" thread diameter with 24 threads per inch and 3/8" length in right-hand thread configuration. The thread forming design follows industry standards for plastic applications with No. 44 drill bit compatibility (0.086" diameter). Manufacturing complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) environmental regulations, ensuring safe use in global markets. The pan head style with 0.193" diameter and 0.071" height maintains consistent Class 2A thread tolerances for reliable performance in automated assembly systems.
