PGB self-tapping screw D.7982C-H 3.50 x 22 A2 (PH2)

On this page you will find the D.7982C-H in size 3,50x22 mm. The DIN 7982 standard describes the shape of the head and the dimensions of the screw. The letter C stands for a screw with a conical point, and the H for a Phillips cross recess. This lets you quickly see whether the screw suits your application.

Sheet metal screw DIN 7982 3,5x22 and the PH2 cross recess

The cross recess is of type PH2, so you need a Phillips bit number 2. A well-fitting bit prevents the head from being damaged or the bit from slipping while driving in the screw. Preferably use a screwdriver with adjustable speed or torque, so you do not overtighten the screw.

Stainless steel A2 as material

A2 is a commonly used stainless steel grade for fasteners. The material does not rust quickly and is therefore suitable for applications where moisture or weather play a role, indoors and outdoors. For very aggressive environments, such as salt water or certain chemicals, another stainless steel grade may be more suitable. Check this in advance for your specific situation.

For which material and thickness do you choose this screw

A self-tapping sheet metal screw cuts its own thread into the material, often without you having to make a pilot hole first. That makes it handy for thin sheet, profiles and connections of sheet material. The length of 22 mm determines how much material you can fasten. Measure the total thickness of the parts to be joined and choose a screw that gets enough grip in the layer underneath.

Frequently asked questions

What does DIN 7982 mean for a sheet metal screw?

DIN 7982 is the standard for self-tapping sheet metal screws with a countersunk round head. The standard defines the shape and dimensions of the screw, so you can compare sizes and properties.

Which bit do I need for this screw?

This screw has a PH2 cross recess, so you use a Phillips bit number 2. A matching bit prevents slipping and damage to the head.

Do I need to pre-drill with a self-tapping screw?

With thin sheet material, pre-drilling is often not necessary, because the screw taps its own thread. With thicker or harder material, a pre-drilled hole is advisable. Check the thickness and material before you start.
