Metallics TSP21M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and type of screw is the Metallics TSP21M?
The TSP21M is a #10 x 5/8 inch Type A sheet metal screw with a pan head and Phillips drive, in zinc-plated steel. Type A threading is the coarse, sharp-point sheet metal thread meant to be driven into thin sheet or into a pilot hole in light-gauge material.
2) How many screws come in a box of Metallics TSP21M?
They ship 1000 pieces per box, so it is a bulk pack sized for panel work, box mounting, and other repetitive electrical fastening rather than a small job pack.
3) Is a zinc-plated steel screw like the TSP21M OK for outdoor or wet locations?
Zinc-plated steel is a dry, indoor-duty finish. The TSP21M #10 x 5/8 screw is plated steel, which handles normal interior humidity but is not a corrosion-resistant choice for exterior, damp, or chemically aggressive locations. For those, use a stainless fastener instead.
4) What is the Metallics part number I should order for a #10 x 5/8 pan head Phillips Type A screw?
Order Metallics TSP21M. That is the manufacturer part number for the #10 x 5/8 pan head Phillips Type A sheet metal screw in zinc-plated steel, and it is the only configuration under that number.
5) Will a 5/8 inch screw be long enough to mount a device into light-gauge steel stud or a sheet metal enclosure?
A 5/8 inch length gives enough thread to bite through sheet metal or a thin bracket and hold, but it is short. If you are fastening through a spacer, a thicker plate, or stacked material, measure your total thickness first; 5/8 inch total length leaves very little once you pass through anything substantial. For sheet-to-sheet and bracket-to-enclosure work it is the common pick.
6) Does a pan head screw sit flush, or will it stand above the surface?
A pan head stands proud of the surface, it does not countersink. The TSP21M has a rounded low-profile pan head with a flat bearing face, which spreads load on sheet metal but leaves the head visible. If you need the head flush or below the surface, you want a flat head screw in a countersunk hole instead.
