Description
Type AB Self Tapping Sheet Metal Screws are designed for fastening into sheet metal without pre-drilling. The oval head and Phillips drive provide a flush seating profile and standard tooling compatibility in metal fabrications.
Specs
- Dimensions: Diameter: #10; Length: 5/8"
- Finish: Zinc & Bake
- Drive Type: Phillips
- Thread Type: Type AB self tapping
- Material: Steel
Features
- Self tapping capability: Forms threads in sheet metal during driving, reducing or eliminating the need for pilot holes in suitable gauge ranges.
- Oval head design: Provides a low profile, flush mounting surface with minimized protrusion for clean assemblies.
- Phillips drive: Broad tooling compatibility and predictable torque transfer with standard bit sets.
- Corrosion resistance: Zinc plated with bake-on coating enhances durability in indoor and protected outdoor environments.
- Material compatibility: Steel substrate suited for general metal fabrication, enclosure mounting, and panel attachment in thin to moderate gauge sheet metal.
- Applications: Ideal for electrical enclosures, HVAC ductwork, appliance assemblies, and automotive body hardware where fast, reliable sheet metal fastening is required.
- Installation considerations: Use appropriate torque to avoid thread deformation; self tapping action reduces prerequisite tooling while ensuring secure clamping in suitable material thickness.
