Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These Type 25/BT thread cutting screws are specifically engineered for plastic fastening applications where traditional fasteners may strip or fail. The 410 Stainless Steel composition delivers exceptional corrosion resistance while the 18 TPI thread form and cutting edges efficiently displace plastic material to create strong, permanent threads without cracking substrates. The Phillips pan head design provides reliable drive transfer and a clean finished appearance, making these tapping screws ideal for electronics enclosures, automotive trim, consumer products, and industrial equipment where vibration resistance and material compatibility are critical. The combination of thread cutting capability and stainless steel durability eliminates the need for inserts while ensuring long-term fastener integrity.

Specification Summary & Compliance

These No. 8 x 1/2" tapping screws feature a 0.164" thread diameter with 18 threads per inch and comply with Type 25/BT thread cutting standards for plastic materials. The screws maintain precise dimensional tolerances suitable for use with No. 26 drill bits (0.147" diameter) and feature fully threaded shanks for maximum engagement. Manufacturing and material compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regulations, ensuring environmental safety and unrestricted use in global markets.
