The Type F thread cutting screw is a specific type of screw thread popular used in the United States and Canada. The type F thread cutting screws are often used in automotive, electronics, and construction industries. They are suitable for attaching metal or plastic components where high torque and resistance to vibration are required.

But what do you know about Type F thread?

The Type F thread has a coarse pitch and a 60-degree thread angle, the Type F thread is a thread form with a finer pitch and a larger minor diameter compared to other types of threads. It is also known as the “Fiat Thread” or “Bus Thread” and is primarily used for sheet metal and plastics.

However, what sets it apart is its unique triangular-shaped thread form, with flat crests and rounded roots. This design offers good resistance to loosening and is ideal for self-tapping screws. The Type F thread is typically used in applications where the screw needs to form its own mating threads in a pre-drilled pilot hole, as it is commonly done in sheet metal. It provides good holding power and is well-suited for joining thin materials together.

It’s important to note that Type F thread screws may not be compatible with standard threads, such as Type 1 or Type 23 threads. Therefore, it’s essential to use the correct matching fastener or tap for the specific type of thread required for your application.
