Features

• Self tapping capability: Forms internal threads in sheet metal during installation, enabling fast assembly without pre tapped holes.
• Head style: Pan head provides broad bearing surface and flush seating in metal panels, reducing pull‑through on thin gauge parts.
• Drive engagement: Square Drive delivers high torque transfer and reduced cam-out when used with power tools.
• Finish and corrosion resistance: Zinc & Bake plating offers protective barrier against corrosion in typical indoor environments.
• Material and strength: Steel substrate provides adequate shear and tensile strength for standard sheet metal assemblies such as enclosure panels and automotive interior components.
• Typical applications: Automotive interior trim, appliance enclosures, HVAC ductwork, metal cabinets, and equipment housings requiring secure, durable fastening.
• Installation tips: Use an appropriate pilot hole for thicker gauge metal; ensure compatible square drive bit is clean and properly seated to maximize engagement and prevent thread damage.
