Button Head Self-Drilling Screws
Product Overview
Phillips button head self-drilling screw (BUTTON HEAD SELF-DRILLING SCREW), model specification 8-18×12-32, is a self-drilling and self-tapping fastener specifically designed for rapid connection of thin metal sheets and light-gauge steel components. The product uses a carbon steel substrate with a color zinc (Z/Y) anti-rust coating, combining efficient installation, secure locking, and basic rust resistance, and is widely used in assembly operations across construction, hardware, mechanical, and electrical fields.
Product Applications
Installation of color steel tiles/profiled steel sheets (fixing of roofing and wall purlins).
Fixing of light steel keels, billboards, and ventilation ducts.
Assembly of home appliance sheet metal and furniture hardware.
Connections for light steel structures, such as sunrooms and photovoltaic brackets.
Product Features
High construction efficiency: Eliminates the pre-drilling process, improving installation speed by over 50% compared to ordinary self-tapping screws.
Strong locking performance: Self-drilling tip + coarse threads allow direct tapping after penetration, resisting slipping and loosening.
Broad adaptability: Can penetrate metal materials with thickness ≤6mm, including steel plates, color steel sheets, and aluminum alloys, and can also be used for mixed connections between wood and metal.
Rust-resistant and durable: Yellow zinc coating (Z/Y) provides basic rust resistance, suitable for humid and mildly corrosive environments.
