S-6516K181 3/8"-16 Threaded Rods

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Lightweight yet durable aluminum construction reduces overall assembly weight while maintaining structural integrity for industrial applications.
• Double-ended threading with 2" length on each side enables versatile connections and faster installation in multi-component assemblies.
• Precise 3/8"-16 right-hand thread ensures reliable compatibility with standard nuts and fittings, minimizing cross-threading risks.
• Corrosion-resistant aluminum material extends service life in humid or chemically exposed environments without additional coatings.
• Full compliance with RoHS 3 and REACH regulations guarantees safe use in regulated industries and global market acceptance.
• 6" overall length with uniform 3/8" diameter provides optimal strength-to-weight ratio for machinery, frames, and structural supports.
• Right-hand thread direction standardization simplifies integration with common industrial components and reduces assembly errors.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This aluminum threaded rod solves critical challenges in weight-sensitive applications where corrosion resistance and regulatory compliance are paramount. The 3/8"-16 thread size with both ends threaded allows bidirectional fastening in aerospace prototypes, electronic enclosures, and automotive fixtures, eliminating the need for multiple connectors. Its aluminum alloy composition prevents galvanic corrosion when paired with non-ferrous materials, while the 2" threading length on each end provides sufficient engagement for vibration-resistant joints. Engineers value its RoHS 3 and REACH compliance for electronics manufacturing and industrial equipment where material restrictions apply, ensuring uninterrupted production and export clearance.

Specification Summary & Compliance

Manufactured to standard 3/8"-16 UNC thread specifications with Class 2A tolerance for consistent fit. The round rod profile maintains 3/8" OD diameter across the 6" length with right-hand thread direction. Complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) under exemption 6(b)-II for lead in aluminum machining alloys and REACH (EC 1907/2006) regarding SVHC substances. Material certification available upon request.
