Product Description

Part number 6RX3-8THA is a self-tapping #6 diameter, 3/8 inch long truss head screw used for fastening in thin metal and other sheet materials. It serves as a thread-forming fastener for applications that require secure attachment without the need for separate tapping operations.

0 1. Overview

The 6RX3-8THA fastener is manufactured from steel and finished with a cadmium coating that provides a sacrificial barrier and natural lubricity during installation and removal. The screw uses a Type A point, a thread-forming configuration with coarse threads and a gimlet point for use in thin metals. This design allows the screw to drill its own hole, removing the need for pre-drilling in suitable materials. The truss head has an enlarged bearing surface that remains proud of the substrate, distributing load over a wider area. The part is described as effective at high temperatures and is supplied as a domestic item in packs of 100 pieces. Dimensional data on the listing indicates an overall dimension reference of 0.456 by 0.315 by 0.315 inches for the packaged item, and a listed weight of 0.2 pounds for the pack.
