Description
Type AB self tapping sheet metal screws enable rapid assembly of thin metal components with robust torque transfer. Flat head with Phillips drive ensures flush seating and precise torque control in steel assemblies.
Specs
- Dimensions: Diameter #6; Length 1/2 inch
- Finish: Black Oxide
- Drive type: Phillips
- Thread type: Type AB self tapping
- Material: Steel
Features
- Self tapping capability: Type AB thread form cuts its own mating threads in sheet metal, enabling installation without pre-tapping; suitable for common sheet metal gauges used in enclosures and panels.
- Head and drive geometry: Flat head provides a low-profile surface; Phillips drive permits efficient torque transfer with standard screwdrivers and power tools.
- Finish and corrosion considerations: Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion protection and uniform dark appearance, appropriate for interior metal assemblies and exposed fastener aesthetics; compatible with lubrication to reduce torque and galling during installation.
- Material characteristics: Steel construction delivers higher strength-to-weight ratio compared to aluminum, enabling reliable fastener performance in light to medium gauge metal.
- Packaging: Bulk pack of 10,000 pieces for high-volume fabrication, inventory management, and job-site replenishment.
- Applications: Suitable for electrical enclosures, HVAC ductwork, metal cabinets, equipment housings, and automotive interior panels where flush finish and secure fastening are required.
- Installation considerations: For thicker metal or harder alloys, pre-drilling pilot holes in line with standard practice may improve alignment and reduce driving torque.
