S-97975A210 Length 1/2" Tapping Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Exceptional corrosion resistance with 410 Stainless Steel construction for long-lasting performance in demanding environments
• Superior holding power in plastic materials through thread forming design that eliminates need for pre-tapping operations
• Optimized drive engagement with Phillips No. 2 drive for reliable installation and reduced cam-out risk
• Enhanced material displacement control with blunt tip design that minimizes stress cracking in plastic substrates
• Full 19 TPI threading provides maximum thread engagement and superior pull-out resistance
• Precision dimensional compatibility with No. 32 drill bit (0.116" diameter) for optimal hole preparation
• Regulatory compliance assurance with RoHS 3 and REACH compliance for global market acceptance

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 6 x 1/2" 410 Stainless Steel tapping screws are specifically engineered for plastic assembly applications where material integrity and long-term performance are critical. The thread forming (DST) design creates strong, permanent threads in plastic substrates without generating chips, eliminating contamination risks in sensitive assemblies. The Phillips drive system ensures consistent torque application while the pan head configuration provides a low-profile finish ideal for applications with clearance constraints. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant 410 stainless steel, these fasteners maintain structural integrity in humid or chemically challenging environments, making them perfect for automotive plastics, electronic enclosures, and outdoor equipment assemblies where reliability is paramount.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This thread forming tapping screw features a No. 6 diameter (0.138") with 1/2" length and 19 TPI right-hand threading. The fastener includes a standard pan head design with Phillips No. 2 drive and is fully threaded with a blunt tip for optimal performance in plastic materials. Manufactured to precise dimensional standards, these screws are designed for use with No. 32 drill bits (0.116" diameter). The product complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental compliance for industrial applications.
