Cross pan head self-tapping nails with a flat tail are a type of self-tapping screw that is designed for a wide range of applications where a flush finish and high clamping force are required. These screws are characterized by their pan head and flat tail design, which allows for a low-profile appearance and a secure connection.
Stainless Steel (304/316): Offers superior corrosion resistance and is suitable for moist or corrosive environments. The 316 grade has additional molybdenum, providing even better corrosion resistance, especially in marine applications.
Carbon Steel: Provides good strength and is the most common material for bolts. It may require additional surface treatments like galvanizing for increased corrosion resistance.
Alloy Steel: Offers enhanced strength and durability. It is often used in high-stress applications where high tensile strength is required.
Advantage:
Pan Head Design: The pan head provides a large bearing surface, which helps prevent the material from sinking or cracking, especially in softer materials. It also offers a professional and finished look when installed.
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.
High Tensile Strength: Made from materials like carbon steel or stainless steel, these screws offer reliable strength and durability.
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites, making them a versatile choice for various industries.
Scope of Application
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 desire.
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.
Machine and Equipment Assembly: In machinery and equipment assembly where a strong connection is needed, and the screw head should not protrude.
Aerospace and Marine: For lightweight and high-strength connections in aerospace and marine applications where corrosion resistance is also a factor.
General Repair and Maintenance: Ideal for repair and maintenance tasks where a strong, reliable fastener is needed, and the ability to tap its own thread is beneficial for quick assembly.
