Small Parts 0808APO6188 18-8 Stainless Steel Sheet Metal Screw, Plain Finish, #6 Trim Head 82 degrees Oval Head, Phillips Drive, Type A, #8-15 Thread Size, 1/2" Length (Pack of 100)

The plain finish 18-8 stainless steel sheet metal screw with #6 82-degree oval trim head and Phillips head has a Type A point for forming threads in thin metals between 0.015" and 0.050" thick and resin impregnated plywood. The Type A point has a conical tip and spaced threads. The 18-8 stainless steel material provides strength and offers good corrosion resistance in many environments. The material may be slightly magnetic. The trim oval head has an 82-degree cone shape for a flush fit in a countersunk hole, has a slightly rounded top that sits above the mated surface, and is smaller than a standard oval head for less visibility when installed. The Phillips drive has an x-shaped slot that accepts a Phillips driver and is designed to allow the driver to slip out of the head to help prevent over-tightening and damage to the thread or fastener.Sheet metal screws, a type of self-tapping screw, have threads down the entire length of the shank for tapping and fastening thin material. The point style determines the type of material the screw can be used on, such as metal, wood, or plastic. These screws commonly have a sharp point that helps penetrate the material.
