S-97196A102 Length 1/2" Wood Screws

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior corrosion resistance with zinc-plated steel construction for long-lasting performance in various environments
• Effortless installation and flush finish thanks to the 82° countersink angle and standard flat head profile
• Excellent holding power in fiberboard and particleboard achieved through thread forming technology that creates strong, permanent threads
• Reduced splitting and pre-drilling convenience with a pointed tip design requiring only a 1/16" drill bit
• Secure, reliable fastening from the fully threaded, right-hand design ensuring maximum grip along the entire length
• Wide compatibility and easy driving with the common Phillips No. 2 drive style for efficient use with standard tools
• Precise dimensional control with consistent head diameter tolerance for uniform performance in repetitive applications

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These No. 5 Phillips flat head wood screws are engineered specifically for fiberboard and particleboard applications, where material integrity is critical. The zinc-plated steel provides essential corrosion protection, extending service life in interior woodworking projects. The thread forming design displaces material rather than cutting it, resulting in tighter, more secure fastenings that resist loosening under vibration—a common issue in assembled wood products. The combination of a pointed tip and specified 1/16" drill bit size minimizes splitting in engineered woods, while the 82° countersink angle ensures a clean, flush finish for professional-grade cabinetry, furniture, and shelving. This design addresses key industrial needs for reliability, ease of installation, and aesthetic consistency.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This product adheres to standard inch measurements with precise dimensional controls, including head diameter tolerance. It features a right-hand thread, fully threaded shank, and is designed for use with a 1/16" drill bit. Manufactured from zinc-plated steel, these screws comply with industry standards for thread forming fasteners used in wood applications. They are suitable for general industrial use and are produced in accordance with common material and safety guidelines, though specific compliance certifications like RoHS or REACH should be verified per batch if required for your project.
