Overview

The NSi Industries JDS161 sheet metal screw is a self-piercing fastener engineered for efficient joining of light-gauge metal components without pre-drilling. This #6 size screw measures 1/2-inch in length with a 1/4-inch hex head width, providing a secure grip and torque application during installation. The slotted drive type ensures compatibility with standard drivers, while the hex head design allows for use with compatible chucks like the MT208B for precise alignment and torque control. Constructed from durable steel and finished with zinc chromate, the JDS161 offers reliable corrosion resistance for industrial and commercial applications. Each pack contains 100 screws, delivering a practical bulk quantity for production runs or maintenance projects. The self-piercing design eliminates the need for separate drilling or punching operations, reducing labor time and simplifying assembly workflows. Ideal for applications involving thin metal sheets, HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and automotive body panels, this screw meets UNSPSC code 31161506 and is manufactured in the USA. The zinc chromate finish provides a balance of cost-effectiveness and corrosion protection, making it suitable for indoor and protected outdoor environments. Compatible with standard hex drivers and the MT208B chuck, the JDS161 ensures consistent performance in automated or manual fastening systems.
