Applications and use

This self-tapping sheet metal screw is designed for fastening thin materials such as sheet metal, die-cast parts, and plastic panels. Thanks to the self-tapping thread, the screw cuts its own thread into the material, ensuring a strong and reliable connection.

Advantages of electrolytically galvanized steel

The electrolytic galvanization provides an extra layer of protection against corrosion, which extends the screw's lifespan. This makes the screw suitable for applications where increased resistance to rust is desired.

Installation and compatibility

The screw features a PH2 drive, which means you need a size 2 Phillips screwdriver for installation. The raised countersunk head ensures a neat finish and prevents damage to the material.

Packaging

These screws are supplied in a pack of 100, ideal for both small and larger projects.

Important considerations

When working with electrolytically galvanized screws, it is important to know that they are less suitable for use in damp or corrosive environments. For such applications, the use of stainless steel (A2 or A4) screws is recommended.

Alternative options

If you are looking for screws with similar specifications but with a different finish or material, there are also variants available in stainless steel (A2 or A4) or with a Torx drive.

Summary

This electrolytically galvanized sheet metal screw with raised countersunk head and Phillips drive is a versatile and reliable choice for various fastening applications in thin materials. The combination of self-tapping thread and corrosion-resistant finish makes it a valuable addition to your toolbox.
