Features
- Self-tapping thread design: Forms its own screw path in thin sheet metal during installation, eliminating the need for pre-drilling and shortening assembly time.
- Flat head, countersunk profile: Sits flush with the workpiece surface to minimize protrusion and reduce snag risk in moving assemblies.
- Slotted drive: Compatible with common screwdrivers and low-profile bit tooling, reducing cam-out under typical torque.
- Corrosion resistance: Zinc plating with bake-on coating provides durable protection against corrosion in indoor environments and light-duty applications.
