Pan Head Self Tapping Screw:12g - 5.5 x 13 (1/2") - DIN 7981

This combi pan head self-tapping screw is manufactured to the DIN 7981 standard, featuring a nominal diameter of 5.5mm and a length of 13mm, equivalent to 1/2 inch. Constructed with a 12g gauge thread, it is designed for secure fastening in sheet metal applications where self-tapping capability is required. Buyers select this specific profile for its reliable grip and standardized dimensions, ensuring compatibility with common tooling and material thicknesses. To choose the correct size, verify that your fastening material matches the 12g gauge and that the 13mm length provides sufficient embedment depth. The 5.5mm nominal diameter should correspond to the prepared pilot hole or substrate material to prevent stripping or breakage during installation.
