S-97196A103 Length 5/8" 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 thanks to the pointed tip and fully threaded design that reduces splitting in wood materials
• Secure, flush finishing enabled by the 82° countersink angle and flat head profile for professional-looking results
• Reliable driving control with Phillips No. 2 drive that minimizes cam-out and ensures tight fastening
• Optimized for fiberboard and particleboard using thread-forming technology for strong, vibration-resistant holds
• Precision compatibility with 1/16" drill bits, simplifying pilot hole preparation and improving installation accuracy
• Consistent performance through right-hand threading and standardized inch measurements for predictable results

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These zinc-plated steel wood screws are engineered to address common challenges in fiberboard and particleboard applications, where material splitting and weak thread engagement often compromise integrity. The thread-forming tapping method displaces wood fibers rather than cutting them, creating tighter threads that resist pull-out under dynamic loads. Combined with the fully threaded design and pointed tip, these Phillips flat head screws ensure rapid penetration and uniform stress distribution. The 82° countersink angle allows the head to sit flush with surfaces, eliminating snagging hazards while the zinc plating provides a protective barrier against moisture-induced corrosion, extending service life in interior woodworking and light construction projects.

Specification Summary & Compliance

Manufactured to inch system standards, these screws feature a No. 5 size with 0.125" thread diameter and 14 TPI right-hand threads for consistent engagement. The flat head maintains a 0.252" diameter with a tolerance of -0.032", while the 5/8" length and standard profile ensure compatibility with typical woodworking practices. These thread-forming wood screws comply with industry-driven specifications for dimensional accuracy and are produced using materials that meet RoHS and REACH environmental standards.
