Description
Type AB self-tapping sheet metal screws provide dependable fastening for thin-gauge metal applications. The pan head combined with a Phillips drive delivers consistent seating and broad driver compatibility in professional assemblies.
Specs
- Dimensions: Diameter #6; Length 7/16 inch
- Finish: Black oxide
- Drive type: Phillips
- Thread type: Type AB self tapping
Features
- Self tapping capability: Establishes threads in thin sheet metal without predrilled pilot holes, reducing assembly steps and cycle times in fabrication and installation.
- Pan head design: Provides a broad bearing surface to resist pull-through and distribute clamping load across the panel surface for improved joint integrity.
- Phillips drive: Widens compatibility with standard drivers; minimizes cam-out risk when proper torque and bit selection are used.
- Finish and corrosion considerations: Black oxide finish offers basic surface protection and improves lubricity; for longer service life in exposed environments, pair with suitable lubricants or protective coatings as part of the assembly process.
- Material and gauge compatibility: Suitable for steel sheet metal assemblies in automotive, appliance, and industrial equipment; compatible with common gauge ranges used in enclosures, panels, and brackets.
- Use-case scenarios: Mounting brackets, securing interior panels, attaching ductwork components, and assembling thin-gauge metal assemblies where fast, reliable thread formation is required.
