DIN968 Cross Recessed Pan Head Tapping Screws with Collar
DIN 968 pan head self-tapping screws with collar feature a rounded head, a cross-shaped drive, and a wider base beneath the head. The wider base provides more contact with the surface being fastened, while the self-tapping thread allows the screw to form threads in suitable materials. These screws are commonly used for fastening sheet metal, electrical enclosures, equipment panels, and other components where a wider bearing surface is needed.
We use specialized cold heading and thread rolling equipment to produce screws with consistent head shapes and thread dimensions. Heat treatment is carefully controlled to help the screws achieve the required strength and hardness. Each production stage is subject to quality checks to ensure that the finished screws meet the agreed specifications.

Mechanical Property:
Steel DIN 968 Self-Tapping Screws – ISO 2702
During installation, DIN 968 steel self-tapping screws must withstand tightening torque while forming threads in the base material. Sufficient strength and hardness help prevent the screw from twisting off or being damaged during installation. ISO 2702 specifies the mechanical and physical requirements for heat-treated steel tapping screws.
Stainless Steel DIN 968 Self-Tapping Screws – ISO 3506-4
DIN 968 stainless steel self-tapping screws need sufficient torsional strength to withstand installation forces while engaging with the base material. Their mechanical properties depend on the stainless steel grade and material condition. ISO 3506-4 specifies the mechanical and physical requirements for corrosion-resistant stainless steel tapping screws.
