摘要: A self-tapping fastener is provided. The formed from a blank having an odd number of lobes along cross section taken perpendicular to its axis rotation. define relatively high out-of-round tapered thread-forming zone, and low the main body in direction toward drive head. Between zone located additional thread forming axial length approximately one pitch that conforms zone. maximum diameter (at lobes) matches full-diameter section. lower-diameter stabilizing can be provided ahead adjacent tip fastener.
