Description
Type AB Self Tapping Sheet Metal Screws are designed for fast assembly in metal panels, delivering reliable thread formation during installation. The pan head with Phillips drive provides consistent seating and torque control across installations.
Specs
- Dimensions: Diameter #8, Length 1/2 inch
- Finish: Black Oxide
- Drive Type: Phillips
- Material Grade: 304 Stainless Steel (18/8)
- Thread Type: Self-tapping
Features
- Self-tapping design: Forms its own mating threads in sheet metal during installation, enabling rapid assembly and reducing the need for pilot holes for common gauge panels.
- Drive and seating: Phillips drive engages standard drivers, reduces cam-out, and allows controlled torque; Pan Head provides a broad bearing surface for flush seating on panel surfaces.
- Material and finish: 304 Stainless Steel base with Black Oxide finish for a dark, uniform appearance and compatibility with stainless hardware in moderate environments.
- Size and fit: #8 diameter × 1/2 inch length suited for common sheet metal thicknesses and enclosure applications.
- Bulk packaging: 5000 units per bulk package, enabling cost-effective procurement for production runs and field installations.
- Ideal applications: Electrical enclosures, control panels, HVAC duct components, appliance assemblies, and general metal fabrication requiring reliable self tapping fasteners.
- Installation considerations: Self-tapping action presupposes appropriate torque control; select metal thickness and material compatibility to maximize seating and corrosion performance in the intended environment.
