• Thread type: Type AB self-tapping

Features

• Self-tapping design: Enables direct fastening into sheet metal without pre-drilling in soft to moderately thick metal substrates, simplifying assembly and reducing tool counts.
• Pan head: Provides a low-profile, wide bearing surface that distributes load and resists pull-out on panel attachments.
• Phillips drive: Common tooling compatibility for efficient torque application and reduced cam-out with standard drivers.
• Black oxide finish: Offers moderate corrosion resistance and wear characteristics suitable for indoor or protected environments, while maintaining a subdued appearance.
• Bulk packaging: Supplied in large quantities (10,000 units per bulk pack) to support high-volume production, ensure supply continuity, and minimize reordering frequency.
• Ideal use cases: Attaching light- to medium-gauge sheet metal components such as enclosures, appliance housings, automotive interior panels, and HVAC ductwork where self-tapping fasteners are appropriate.
