Pan Head Self Drilling Screws are highly efficient fasteners with self-drilling function, widely used in fixing and connecting various materials. They have a dome-shaped head design (pan head), which is very suitable for occasions that require beautiful surface and strong connection. Unlike traditional screws, pan head self-drilling screws have the ability to drill holes directly on materials such as metal, plastic or wood and self-tap threads, simplifying the installation process.
Pan Head Self-Drilling Screws: Key Features and Technical Specifications
1. Self-Drilling Design with Optimized Drill Point
Pan head self-drilling screws feature a built-in drill point with a 90°-118° tip angle, eliminating the need for pre-drilling. The drill point typically measures 2-5mm in length (varies by screw size), enabling penetration into mild steel up to 2.5mm thick (ASTM A653 standards). The flute design enhances chip removal during installation.
2. Pan Head with Wide Bearing Surface
The signature pan head provides a 120°-130° head angle with a diameter 1.8-2.2 times the shank diameter (e.g., #8 screw: 8.5mm head diameter). This design distributes clamping force over 40-60% more surface area compared to flat heads, reducing material deformation in substrates like 0.5-3mm aluminum or 16-22 gauge steel.
3. High-Performance Thread Geometry
Featuring modified Type AB or Type B threads with 14-20 TPI (threads per inch), these screws achieve 25-35% higher pull-out resistance than standard threads. The thread rolling process creates 20-30% greater tensile strength (typically 60,000-80,000 PSI for carbon steel grades).
4. Corrosion-Resistant Coatings
Available with zinc plating (5-8μm thickness, 96+ hours salt spray resistance) or premium coatings like Geomet® (15-20μm, 500+ hours salt spray). Optional PTFE coatings reduce driving torque by 15-25% while maintaining 200+ hours corrosion resistance.
5. Optimized Drive Systems
Most models feature #2 or #3 Phillips drives (JIS B 1012 standard) with 30-40% greater cam-out resistance than conventional drives. High-torque versions incorporate TORX® T15-T25 drives, supporting 50-70 N·m installation torque for hardened steel variants (Grade 8.8 or higher).
6. Material Compatibility
Engineered for multiple substrates: carbon steel (HRC 22-32), stainless steel (304/410 grades), and aluminum alloys (6061-T6). The heat-treated shanks (Rockwell C 28-35) maintain structural integrity when drilling through 12-14 gauge steel framing.
Advantages:
Simplified installation: Since the screw has a self-drilling function, there is no need to pre-drill holes during installation, which reduces the operation steps and improves work efficiency.
High strength and corrosion resistance: The use of stainless steel material, SUS Stainless Steel, provides excellent strength and corrosion resistance, which is very suitable for applications exposed to humid or corrosive environments for a long time.
Enhanced stability: The Pan Head design can increase the contact area of the screw, reduce damage caused by excessive pressure, and ensure the stability of the connection.
Wide applicability: Due to its design and material advantages, the pan head self-drilling screw is widely used in many industries, including construction, electronics, automobiles and home appliances.
Scope of use:
Construction industry: Widely used in steel structures, metal frames, wooden structures and other connections, Pan Head Self Drilling Screws can quickly and firmly connect metal plates, wooden boards and other components.
Automobile manufacturing: In the process of automobile assembly, this type of self-drilling screws are used to fix metal parts, such as body connection, equipment installation, etc., with high durability and corrosion resistance.
Electronic product assembly: In the assembly of electronic equipment, screws can ensure the fastening of parts, especially for applications requiring high corrosion resistance and precision.
Home appliance industry: In the assembly process of home appliances, the use of pan head self-drilling screws can ensure the firmness and long-term stability of the connection parts, and is suitable for use in humid environments.
Outdoor equipment: Such as sports equipment, outdoor tools, etc., these equipment need to maintain a stable connection when exposed to harsh environments, and this type of self-drilling screws are suitable.
FAQ
Does it need to be drilled in advance?
No. Pan Head Self Drilling Screws have a self-drilling function, which can directly drill holes on the workpiece and perform self-tapping threads, which is very convenient and fast.
Is the screw head easy to be damaged or loose?
Due to the Pan Head design, the screw has a larger contact surface with the material, which reduces pressure concentration, reduces the possibility of damage or loosening of the screw head, and enhances the stability of the connection.
Is the material of the screw corrosion-resistant?
Yes, the screw is made of SUS Stainless Steel, which has very high corrosion resistance and is particularly suitable for fixing work in humid or corrosive environments.
Are the screws suitable for all types of materials?
Pan Head Self Drilling Screws are mainly suitable for common materials such as metal, wood, and plastic. When processing harder metals or special materials, you may need to choose stronger screws or suitable tools.
How to ensure the service life of the screws?
Keep the screw surface clean, avoid long-term exposure to extreme environments, and use the correct installation tools and torque to prevent damage to the screw head. DEGREASE helps clean the surface and increase coating adhesion, thereby extending the service life of the screw.
