S-98685A540 Length 3/8" Wood Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with brass construction, ensuring long-term reliability in humid or outdoor wood applications
• Enhanced driving efficiency with Phillips No. 1 drive, reducing cam-out and tool slippage during installation
• Optimized thread engagement featuring 22 TPI and partial threading for maximum pull-out resistance in both hardwood and softwood
• Reduced wood splitting due to pointed tip and thread-forming design, eliminating the need for pre-drilling in many cases
• Secure fastening performance with rounded head profile distributing load evenly across wood surfaces
• Regulatory compliance assurance meeting RoHS 3 and REACH standards for safe industrial and commercial use
• Precision dimensional consistency with 0.112" thread diameter and 1/4" minimum thread length ensuring reliable repeatability

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

Engineered specifically for wood fastening applications, these No. 4 brass wood screws deliver exceptional value in furniture manufacturing, cabinetry, and architectural woodworking. The thread forming design creates permanent, high-strength connections without requiring tapped holes, while the 22 threads per inch configuration provides superior holding power in both hardwood and softwood materials. The brass material offers natural corrosion resistance ideal for humid environments, and the Phillips drive system ensures efficient installation with standard power tools. These characteristics make them particularly valuable for applications where aesthetic appeal must combine with structural integrity, such as premium furniture joints, decorative trim installation, and outdoor wood structures where environmental factors demand corrosion-resistant fastening solutions.
