Metallics TP201SBC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread are the Metallics TP201SBC security screws?
They are 6-32 x 3/4 inch machine screws, so a unified #6 diameter with 32 threads per inch and a 3/4 inch length. Machine screw thread means they go into a tapped hole or a nut, not raw wood.
2) What driver do I need for the TP201SBC button head pin-in-star screws?
These are tamper resistant pin-in-star (pin-in-Torx) drive screws, so a standard Torx bit will not seat. You need a pin-in-star security bit of the matching size, which has a hole bored down the center to clear the pin in the recess.
3) Are the Metallics TP201SBC screws stainless, and will they hold up outdoors?
They are 18-8 stainless steel, the austenitic 300 series grade used for general corrosion resistance. That handles damp and outdoor exposure well; for salt spray or coastal work, 316 stainless is the step up.
4) Why use a pin-in-star screw instead of a regular Phillips machine screw on electrical covers?
The pin in the drive recess blocks a standard Torx or Phillips bit, so a passerby with a pocket screwdriver cannot open the plate. That is the reason to spec the TP201SBC on public-area device plates, panels, and enclosures where ordinary fasteners get removed. If the fastener is inside a locked room, a plain 6-32 machine screw does the same mechanical job for less work at install.
5) Will a 3/4 inch long 6-32 security screw be too long for a device plate?
At 3/4 inch, these are longer than the short screws that ship with most wall plates, which suits thicker plates, spacers, stacked gaskets, or screwing through an extension ring into a tapped strap. On a thin plate straight to a device yoke you may bottom out or run out of tapped thread, so measure your stack before ordering.
6) How many screws come in a pack of Metallics TP201SBC?
Each pack is 100 pieces of the 6-32 x 3/4 button head pin-in-star screw, all one size, so plan quantity per opening or per device accordingly.
7) What does the button head on these Metallics security screws mean for clearance?
Button head sits proud of the surface with a low domed profile rather than sinking flush, so no countersink is needed in the plate. If your plate or cover is counterbored for a flat head, a button head will not sit flush in it.
