Small Parts 141207AWS Steel Sheet Metal Screw, Zinc Plated, Serrated 7/16" Width Hex Washer Head, Hex Drive, Type A, #14-10 Thread Size, 3/4" Length (Pack of 50)

The zinc plated steel sheet metal screw with round washer head and star drive 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. Steel is often used in applications where strength is the primary consideration. The zinc plating offers corrosion resistance and has a reflective appearance. The round washer head has a domed head with a built-in washer for increased bearing surface to prevent the screw from driving too far into the fastened material. The star drive, also called a Torx drive, has a six-pointed indentation that provides a large contact area for the driver, resisting slippage better than a Phillips or slotted drive. A star drive requires use of a Torx driver for installation and removal.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.
