DIN7982 Self Tapping Screw Zinc Plated

The DIN 7982 standard specifies technical requirements for self-tapping screws with a pan head (rounded head with a flat bearing surface) and a cross recess (Phillips or Pozidriv drive). This DIN7982 Self Tapping Screw Zinc Plated is designed to cut or form their own threads into pre-drilled holes in materials such as metal, plastic, or thin sheet metal, eliminating the need for pre-tapped threads.

Key Features:

Head Type: Pan head (rounded top with flat bearing surface) for a balanced finish and load distribution.

Drive Type: Cross recess (commonly Phillips or Pozidriv) for efficient torque transmission.

Thread Type: Sharp, self-tapping thread designed to create mating threads during installation.

Material: Typically made of carbon steel (often zinc-plated or coated for corrosion resistance) or stainless steel (A2/A4 grades).

Point Style: Tapered or sharp point for easy penetration into materials.

Applications:

Sheet metal assemblies (e.g., automotive, HVAC).

Plastic components (e.g., electronics, appliances).

Light-to-medium-duty metal fastening (where thread-forming is required).

Advantages:

Eliminates the need for pre-tapped holes, reducing assembly time.

Secure hold in thin materials.

DIN-standardized dimensions ensure compatibility and reliability.

Standards & Compliance:

Complies with DIN 7982 (German Industrial Standard).

Equivalent to ISO 7049 for cross-recessed pan head screws.

Common Sizes:

Diameters: M2 to M6 (metric).

Lengths: Varies by application (e.g., 6mm to 50mm).
