Self Tapping Screws - Pozidrive Flange Head - Black Oxide

Self tapping screws, usually referred to as self tappers, are screws for use when fastening to metal or plastic.

Pozidrive flange head self tappers have a lower profile round head – essentially a slightly flattened round head. They are popular in applications where a large clamping area is needed with an obstructive head.

All that is required to insert a self tapper is a pilot or punched hole to introduce the screw. They then form their own thread as the screw is driven into position. Once inserted, self tapping screws may be removed and re-used.

Pozidrive flange head self tappers have a lower profile round head – essentially a slightly flattened round head. They are popular in applications where a large clamping area is needed with an obstructive head.

We stock two different point options for our pozidrive flange head self tapping screws, these are classified as Type AB and Type B.

Type AB has a sharp point on the end (sometimes called a gimlet point) and is commonly used with brittle materials and thin sheet metals. Type AB is the most common type of self tapper for general use.

Type B self tappers are flat and blunt on the end and are commonly used with light and heavy sheet metals (.050 to .200 thick), plastics, plywood and other similar materials. They are also safer to use where the presence of a sharp point is not advisable, i.e. where manual labour is used in large scale factory processing. Our type B self tappers with flange heads are only available in 2 size options.
