Greater Pull-Out Force: 10-32 or 10-24
Greater Pull-Out Force: 10-32 or 10-24
(OP)
Which Thread would provide greater resistance to pullout: 10-24 or 10-32?
10-24 would give you fewer threads that are coarser.
10-32 would give you more threads that are finer.
We are tapping into a thin sheet of stainless steel.
Thanks for the help.

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

The question is moot. If you are relying on sheet metal screws in thin sheet metal to resist axial loads, you will be disappointed. A simple physical test of these components will provide the actual values and prove the point.

We are tapping out the hole firts.
2 screws are being used to attach a handle to a metal part that only weighs about 1-2 pounds.
So it works ok for the load. I was just wondering if we would get better results with the coarser or finer thread.
As paddingtongreen states, we can only get 1-1/2 to 2 threads. But do you think it would be better to have 1-1/2 coarse threads or 2 fine threads.
Thanks

Then try cross checking on one of the online calculators such as at www.boltplanet.com

I'd test several samples through a lifetime of cycles at the anticipated working load, twice the working load, then using the part to manually crush one hundred pounds of ice cubes on the kitchen counter. Then I'd feel like the "expert."

No hole to drill. (Or a pre-hole the diameter of the sheet metal screw shank)
No tapping expense and time and setup.
No tapping machinery, or badly threaded holes.
No rework.
Wider threads on a sheet metal screw than on either a 10-32 or 10-24.
Alterate: Use a car body type clip with attached nut. Nutcert (I think) is a supplier. Better engagement, cheaper, faster, stronger. (Not as elegant looking.)
