Metallics TP220SFC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the star pin drive on the TP220SFC a tamper-resistant screw?
Yes. The star drive has a pin in the center of the recess, so a standard six-lobe (Torx-style) bit will not seat. You need a matching pin-in-star bit of the correct size to drive or remove it. That is what makes it suitable for panels, covers, and enclosures you do not want opened with common tools.
2) Will the TP220SFC sit flush in a countersunk hole?
It will, provided the hole is countersunk for a flat head. The TP220SFC uses a flat head, which is designed to seat into a chamfered or countersunk hole so the top of the screw finishes level with the surface. On a plain drilled hole with no countersink the head will stand proud.
3) Do I need a tapped hole for the TP220SFC, or will it cut its own thread?
It needs a mating thread. A machine screw like the TP220SFC has a uniform 1/4-20 machine thread with a blunt end, so it goes into a hole tapped 1/4-20, a threaded insert, or a 1/4-20 nut. It is not a self-tapping or self-drilling screw.
4) What is the Metallics part number to order this 1/4-20 tamper-resistant screw?
Order it as Metallics TP220SFC. That is the manufacturer part number for the 1/4-20 x 1-1/2 inch flat head pin-in-star tamper-resistant machine screw, supplied 100 to a pack.
