DIN7981 Cross Recessed Pan Head Tapping Screws

DIN 7981 pan head self-tapping screws feature a rounded head with a cross-shaped recess, providing a practical fastening solution for sheet metal, plastic components, and other materials suitable for self-tapping threads. The pan head offers a relatively wide bearing surface, while the cross recess allows installation with a compatible screwdriver or power tool. These screws are available in different diameters and lengths to accommodate various assembly requirements.

The main dimensions of DIN 7981 screws include thread diameter, thread pitch, head diameter, head height, and cross recess size. Common metric thread sizes include ST2.2, ST2.9, ST3.5, ST3.9, ST4.2, ST4.8, ST5.5, and ST6.3. Material selection, surface finish, and screw dimensions should be considered according to the base material, installation conditions, and corrosion resistance requirements of the application.

ISO 2702 — Mechanical Properties of Steel Tapping Screws

ISO 2702 specifies the mechanical and physical properties of heat-treated steel tapping screws with thread sizes from ST2.2 to ST9.5, in accordance with ISO 1478. The requirements cover the performance of the screw body and threads during installation, helping ensure that the screws can form mating threads in sheet metal without deforming their own threads. Mechanical testing is used to evaluate properties such as hardness and resistance to torsional failure. The table below presents the applicable mechanical property requirements for steel tapping screws.

ISO 3506-4 — Mechanical Properties of Stainless Steel Tapping Screws

ISO 3506-4 specifies the mechanical and physical properties of tapping screws manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel. The 2025 edition covers austenitic, martensitic, ferritic, and duplex stainless steel grades, with specified grades and hardness classes. Mechanical performance requirements include core hardness, surface hardness for applicable martensitic grades, torsional strength, and thread-forming ability. The required properties depend on the stainless steel grade and hardness class, as shown in the table below.
