DIN 7500 Thread-Forming Taptite Screw (Self-Tapping) Form C

The European standard DIN 7500 covers the manufacture of thread-forming screws of the Taptite series. These are self-tapping screws that do not require pre-forming thread in a drilled hole.

When driven in, they form a right-hand metric thread with a 0.5 mm pitch, ensuring secure fastening in the material. The screws are used for joining sheet materials — metal, plastic, gypsum board — as well as for fastening sheets to frames and in the assembly of metal structures.

Manufacturing and application features

DIN 7500 self-tapping screws are manufactured from carbon steel, a high-strength material. To improve corrosion resistance, the fasteners are given a zinc electroplated coating. Fasteners for highly corrosive environments are made from stainless steel.

The product has the following characteristics:

• Nominal shank diameter — from M2 to M8.
• Form C features a round (button) head of cylindrical shape with a cross recess — this fastener is suitable for quick driving with a screwdriver or power driver.
• A version with a TORX recess is also available — such screws are used in professional assembly of metal structures and mechanisms.

DIN 7500 fasteners are in demand in construction: they are used for fastening exterior facade finishes, roofing materials — metal tile, profiled sheet, siding — as well as in the assembly of metal structures. The fasteners are used in various industries, including machine building.
