Screw-ST2.9x13-Cross Pan Self-Tapping

The Screw-ST2.9x13-Cross Pan Self-Tapping is a compact, high-precision fastener designed to streamline assemblies where a clean, secure hold is essential. With a 2.9 mm diameter and 13 mm length, this screw hits the sweet spot between compact fit and reliable grip, making it a versatile choice for light to medium-duty projects.

• 
  Size and drive: 2.9 mm diameter, 13 mm long, with a Cross (Phillips) pan head that provides a balanced, low-profile finish and easy, consistent driving with standard screwdrivers.
• 
  Self-tapping performance: Engineered to cut its own threads in soft metals, plastics, and thin wood, eliminating the need for pre-tapped holes in suitable materials and speeding up your workflow.
• 
  Easy installation: Designed for a straightforward drive with typical Phillips bits, keeping project timelines tight without compromising grip or join integrity.
• 
  Low-profile head: The pan head sits neatly on the surface, reducing snag risk and delivering a neat finished appearance for panels, enclosures, and lightweight assemblies.
• 
  Material compatibility: Ideal for assemblies where you’re fastening thin materials or components that don’t require heavy-duty fasteners, such as electronic housings, appliance panels, cabinet work, and hobby projects.

Where this screw shines

• Electrical enclosures and control panels where a tidy, flush finish matters and access is frequent.
• Thin steel, aluminum, or plastic panels that benefit from a self-tapping solution to minimize setup time.
• DIY furniture, hobby builds, and small hardware assemblies that require reliable seating without bulky heads.
• Repairs and upgrades where you need quick, repeatable fastening with compatible, standard tools.

Why choose Screw-ST2.9x13-Cross Pan Self-Tapping over alternatives

• 
  Precise dimensions for consistent results: The 2.9x13 size delivers predictable grip and repeatable performance across multiple projects, reducing guesswork during planning and assembly.
• 
  Self-tapping efficiency: By forming its own thread, this screw minimizes pre-drilling steps in the right materials, helping you complete tasks faster without sacrificing holding power.
• 
  Neat finish with a practical head type: The cross pan head provides a broad seating surface that resists cam-out and presents a clean look on visible surfaces.
• 
  Accessible tooling requirements: Works with standard Phillips drivers, making it a practical addition to any toolbox without specialized equipment.

Practical tips for best results

• Reserve this screw for soft metals, plastics, and thin wooden substrates where self-tapping action is most effective.
• When working with harder materials, consider initiating a pilot hole to guide the threads and prevent material cracking, then let the self-tapping feature form the final threads.
• Pair with compatible gaskets or spacers if you need a small, controlled gap between components for vibration isolation or thermal expansion relief.
• Inspect pilot alignment and material thickness before installation to ensure the 13 mm length provides adequate bite without protruding beyond the rear surface.

Whether you’re an professional installer, a weekend DIYer, or a hobby craftsman, the Screw-ST2.9x13-Cross Pan Self-Tapping offers a precise, efficient fastening solution that pairs a practical size with dependable grip. It’s the smart choice for quick, clean, and predictable assemblies where a self-tapping, Phillips-drive screw is all you need to get the job done.
