#8 x 16mm Black Pan Head Self-Tapping Screws | Zinc Plated | Pack of 100

This professional 100-pack of black pan head self-tapping screws provides a reliable and efficient fastening solution for sheet metal, plastic, and wood assemblies. With a size of #8 gauge and 16mm (5/8") length, these screws are engineered to drill their own pilot hole and form threads as they are driven, eliminating the need for pre-drilling in many materials and saving valuable installation time.

Key Specifications:

• Size: #8 Gauge x 16mm Length (approx. 5/8 inch)

• Head Style: Pan Head (Low-Profile, Flat Bearing Surface)

• Drive Type: Phillips No. 2 (PH2)

• Thread Type: Self-Tapping (Sharp Point for Direct Fastening)

• Material: Case-Hardened 1022A Carbon Steel

• Hardness: 550HV - 750HV (High Surface Hardness)

• Finish: Black Phosphate Coating

• Pack Quantity: 100 Pieces

Core Features & Benefits:

• Self-Tapping Efficiency: The sharp point and aggressive threads allow the screw to cut and form its own mating threads in materials like thin steel, aluminum, plastic, and soft wood, streamlining the assembly process.

• Secure Pan Head Design: The pan head provides a wider bearing surface than a round head, offering better clamp force distribution to secure materials firmly without sinking.

• Durable & Corrosion-Resistant: The black phosphate finish provides a robust protective layer that resists rust and abrasion, making these screws suitable for both indoor use and protected outdoor applications.

• High-Strength Construction: Manufactured from case-hardened carbon steel, these screws achieve high hardness for excellent shear strength, wear resistance, and resistance to driver cam-out.

Common Applications:

• Sheet Metal Fabrication: Joining metal panels, brackets, electrical boxes, and HVAC ductwork.

• Automotive & Appliance Trim: Securing plastic trim panels, fender liners, and interior components.

• Electronics & Enclosure Assembly: Mounting components in metal or plastic chassis and server racks.

• General Woodworking & DIY: Fastening wood to metal frames or assembling projects where a pre-tapped hole is not present.

Installation Note: For best results in metal, a small pilot hole is often recommended to guide the screw and reduce driving torque. Always use a properly sized Phillips #2 (PH2) screwdriver or bit in a cordless drill or driver. The black phosphate finish offers good corrosion resistance for standard environments.
