Metallics TP200SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What driver do I need for a Metallics TP200SBC pin-in-star screw?
A pin-in-Torx (pin-in-star) security bit in the matching size. The TP200SBC is a button head star drive with a center pin in the recess, so a standard Torx bit will not seat and a standard screwdriver will not turn it. That pin is the whole point: it is a tamper-resistant fastener meant to keep covers and plates from being opened with common tools.
2) Are these 18-8 stainless screws OK for outdoor or damp-location use?
The TP200SBC is 18-8 stainless steel, the common 300 series austenitic grade, so it resists rust in wet and outdoor-exposed locations far better than plated carbon steel. For coastal or chloride-heavy environments, 316 stainless is the step up. 18-8 is also non-magnetic in the annealed condition, which matters on some electrical and instrument work.
3) Is a button head screw the right choice, or should I use a flat head?
Button head sits proud of the surface with a low domed crown and bears on a flat face, so it needs no countersink. If your plate or housing has a countersunk hole, a flat head is the correct profile instead. The TP200SBC is the button head version, which is what most sheet metal covers and surface-mounted enclosures take.
4) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP200SBC?
100 pieces per pack. That is a box quantity, so it suits a property manager or integrator securing a run of device plates, camera housings, or enclosure covers across a building rather than a single fix.
5) What is the Metallics part number to order for these tamper-resistant screws?
Order Metallics TP200SBC. That part number covers the 6-32 x 1/2 inch button head pin-in-star tamper-resistant machine screw in 18-8 stainless, 100 per pack. There is a single model, so there is no finish or size option to specify.
