S-97196A101 Length 5/8" Wood Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Enhanced corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for long-lasting performance in humid or variable environments
• Superior holding power in fiberboard and particleboard due to thread forming design that displaces material without pre-tapping
• Flush, professional finish achieved with the 82° countersink angle and flat head profile for seamless surface integration
• Faster, more efficient installation with pointed tip and fully threaded design requiring only a 3/64" pilot hole
• Reduced cam-out and stripped heads thanks to Phillips No. 1 drive ensuring secure torque transfer during driving
• Consistent dimensional accuracy with precise thread diameter (0.112") and 14 TPI for reliable engagement in wood composites
• Versatile right-hand threading compatible with standard power tools for high-speed assembly workflows

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This No. 4 x 5/8" zinc-plated steel wood screw is specifically engineered to address common challenges in fiberboard and particleboard applications, where material tear-out and weak thread engagement often compromise structural integrity. The thread forming tapping method compresses wood fibers rather than cutting them, creating stronger, more vibration-resistant connections that resist loosening over time. The fully threaded, pointed tip design combined with the precise 82° countersink angle allows for rapid, self-centering installation that sits perfectly flush—eliminating surface protrusions in cabinetry, furniture, and fixture assemblies. By requiring only a 3/64" drill bit for piloting, it minimizes installation effort while maximizing pull-out strength, making it an ideal Phillips flat head screw for high-volume woodworking and manufacturing environments.

Specification Summary & Compliance

Manufactured to standard inch system tolerances with Class 2A thread fit for consistent performance. The screw features a right-hand thread direction, round shank cross-section, and complies with industry-standard dimensional requirements for wood screws. Zinc-plating provides basic corrosion protection, and the product is suitable for general industrial use where specific chemical compliance (RoHS/REACH) is not mandated. Always verify compatibility with local building codes and material specifications.
