Description
Type AB self tapping sheet metal screws create their own threads in metal during installation, enabling fast, secure assemblies in light gauge panels. The pan head and 6-Lobe Drive support high torque transfer with reduced cam-out for consistent seating in professional enclosures and metal assemblies.
Specs
- Dimensions: Diameter: #6; Length: 1/4
- Finish: Black Oxide
- Drive type: 6-Lobe Drive
Features
- Self-tapping capability: Cuts its own threads in thin sheet metal, eliminating the need for a pilot hole in standard enclosure and panel assemblies.
- Finish and corrosion characteristics: Black oxide provides a uniform dark finish with moderate surface protection suitable for non-marine environments and visible hardware.
- High torque transfer: 6-Lobe Drive minimizes cam-out during installation, improving reliability in both automated and manual fastening processes.
- Head style and load distribution: Pan head offers a broad bearing surface for even load distribution and reduced pull-through on sheet metal.
- Recommended applications: Ideal for attaching light gauge steel panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC components, and small automotive body fixtures where a flush or semi-flush profile is desired.
- Material context: Steel construction provides suitable strength for standard sheet metal fastening tasks in non-structural assemblies.
