Features
- Self-tapping capability: Creates mating threads in sheet metal during installation, enabling fast, pilot-hole free assemblies in enclosure panels, HVAC duct work, and metal chassis.
- Corrosion protection: Zinc plating with baked finish provides sacrificial protection against oxidation for indoor and semi-exposed environments.
- Pan head design: Large bearing surface distributes load and reduces pull-out on thin metal sheets while maintaining a flush profile where clearance is limited.
- Phillips drive: Positive engagement reduces cam-out and improves torque transfer with standard screwdriver and power drivers.
- Material and compatibility: Steel core offers adequate strength for general sheet metal fastening; compatible with Type AB tapped holes and standard pilot-hole practices per application.
- Typical use cases: Electrical enclosures, appliance assemblies, automotive interior trim, metal enclosures, and equipment housings where quick, repeatable fastening is required.
