8X1/2PHIL TRUSS THRD CTG SMS100 100/BX - AUVECO - Auto Vehicle Parts LLC

The AUVECO 24175 Phillips Truss Head Thread Cutting Screw is a professional-grade fastener engineered for secure and reliable installations in automotive and industrial applications. Measuring #8 in diameter and 1/2 inch in length, this chrome-finished screw combines a low-profile truss head with advanced thread-cutting capabilities, making it an essential component for technicians and mechanics seeking durability and precision. Supplied in boxes of 100, it ensures you have an ample supply for various projects.

Key Features

• Phillips Truss Head Design: The distinctive truss head features a wide, low-profile dome with a 7/16-inch washer head diameter, distributing clamping force over a larger surface area to prevent pull-through and material distortion, particularly in thin or soft substrates. This design also ensures a low-clearance, snag-free finish.
• Thread Cutting (Type A/AB Point): Equipped with a sharp A/AB point, these screws create their own precise internal threads as they are driven into a pre-drilled pilot hole. This self-tapping action eliminates the need for a separate tapping operation, saving time and effort.
• Reduced Material Stress: By removing material rather than displacing it, thread-cutting screws minimize internal stress on the surrounding substrate, reducing the risk of cracking in harder or brittle materials like metal and dense plastics.
• Durable Chrome Finish: The chrome plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and a clean, professional appearance suitable for visible applications.
• Professional-Grade Quality: Manufactured by AUVECO, a trusted name in automotive and industrial fasteners for over a century, these screws meet or exceed OEM quality standards, ensuring consistent performance and longevity.

Applications

The AUVECO 24175 Phillips Truss Head Thread Cutting Screw is ideally suited for a wide range of professional fastening tasks where a strong, low-profile connection is required without compromising material integrity. Common applications include:

• Automotive Repair: Fastening interior panels, trim, dashboards, and various plastic or thin metal components.
• Sheet Metal Fabrication: Securely joining light gauge sheet metal in industrial manufacturing, HVAC ductwork, and electrical panel construction.
• Appliance and Electronics: Attaching components, enclosures, and circuit boards where a broad bearing surface and minimal surface damage are critical.
• General Industrial Use: Fastening in wood, plastic, and composite materials, particularly where frequent maintenance may be required, thanks to the robust threads created.
