self tapping pan head screws

Our Carbon Steel Pan Head Self-Tapping Screws are a versatile and economical fastening solution, engineered for rapid and reliable assembly in a wide range of materials. These screws are a staple in countless industries due to their simple yet effective design, combining a general-purpose pan head with a sharp, thread-cutting point. Manufactured from durable carbon steel and coated with a protective zinc finish, they offer a dependable combination of strength and corrosion resistance, making them an ideal choice for high-volume manufacturing, general repairs, and assembly projects involving sheet metal, plastics, and wood.

Product Details

This screw is defined by its practical and efficient design. The “pan head” features a slightly domed top with a flat bearing surface underneath, providing good clamping force without being obstructive. This popular head style is suitable for a majority of applications where the screw head does not need to be countersunk.

The key feature is the self-tapping thread, which is designed to cut its own mating threads as it is driven into a pilot hole. This eliminates the need for a pre-tapped hole, significantly speeding up the assembly process and reducing manufacturing costs. The screw is made from carbon steel for strength and is typically finished with a zinc plating that provides a good level of protection against rust and corrosion in indoor or mild environments. Driven by a standard cross recess (Phillips) drive, installation is fast and easy with common tools.
