Description
Type B self tapping sheet metal screws provide fast, reliable fastening for thin metal panels. Flat undercut head with a Phillips drive delivers a flush, low-profile finish and straightforward installation in steel with a black oxide coating.
Specs
- Dimensions: Diameter #10; Length 5/8 inch
- Finish: Black Oxide
- Drive Type: Phillips
- Material: Steel
Features
- Self tapping capability: Forms mating threads in sheet metal during insertion, enabling installation without a predrilled hole in compatible materials.
- Flat Undercut Head: Sits flush with the surface to reduce protrusion and improve wiring and enclosure aesthetics in assemblies.
- Phillips Drive: Cross-recess design allows reliable alignment and torque transfer with common handheld and power drivers.
- Black Oxide Finish: Provides moderate corrosion resistance and lubricity during driving, with low glare and compatibility with stainless and carbon steel substrates.
- Material: Steel provides sufficient shear and tensile strength for thin-gauge sheet metal applications while maintaining driveability.
- Ideal use cases: Automotive trims, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, metal cabinets, and other thin-gauge sheet metal assemblies requiring rapid, secure fastening.
- Installation considerations: Employ appropriate driver bit, monitor torque to prevent thread stripping, and ensure material thickness aligns with self tapping screw capabilities for optimal thread formation.
