Pan Washer Head Self Tapping Screw features a flat head with a slightly domed top, which provides a smooth, finished appearance. The integrated washer under the head increases the surface area in contact with the material, distributing the clamping force over a wider area and reducing the risk of damage to the workpiece. This type of screw is designed to tap its own threads as it is driven into pre-drilled holes in materials such as metal, plastic, or wood, eliminating the need for a separate tapping operation. Its self-tapping capability makes installation quick and efficient, while also ensuring a secure hold. Additionally, the pan washer head design helps to prevent the screw from pulling through the material, making it ideal for applications requiring high torque and resistance to vibration.
Pan Washer Head Self Tapping Screws are widely used in various applications, including:
Sheet Metal Fabrication: They are ideal for attaching thin metal sheets, such as those used in HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and automotive body panels.
