Cross pan head with cushion self-tapping nails featuring a flat tail are a type of self-tapping screw designed for applications that require a combination of a wide bearing surface, a secure grip, and a low-profile appearance. The pan head provides a larger surface area for driving, while the cushion point helps distribute the load and prevent material damage. The flat tail allows for a flush finish, making these screws suitable for applications where aesthetics are important.
Carbon Steel: Typically used for general applications.
Stainless Steel: For environments where corrosion resistance is required.
Alloy Steels: Used in applications requiring high strength or high temperature resistance.
Advantage:
Pan Head Design: The pan head offers a larger bearing surface, which helps prevent the material from sinking or cracking, especially in softer materials like plastics or thin metals.
Cushion Point: The cushion point distributes the load over a larger area, reducing the risk of material deformation and providing a secure grip.
Self-Tapping Capability: These screws can create their own threads in a predrilled hole, eliminating the need for pre-tapping, which saves time and effort.
Flat Tail: The flat tail allows the screw to sit flush with the material surface, providing a clean and finished look, which is ideal for applications where the screw head needs to be countersunk.
Scope of Application
Automotive Industry: Used for assembling interior trim panels, components, and body panels where a secure grip and a flush finish are required.
Construction and HVAC: Ideal for fastening metal roofing, wall paneling, and ductwork where a strong connection without pre-drilling is needed.
Electrical and Electronics: Secures components in electrical enclosures and control panels, as well as in the assembly of electronic devices where a low-profile appearance is desired.
Furniture and Cabinetry: Assembles wooden or composite materials in furniture and cabinetry, providing a secure and durable connection with a neat appearance.
Signage and Display: Used in the assembly of signs and displays where a flush finish is important for a clean look.
