TX06 6-Lobe Pin TX Button Head Self Drill Security Screws
Self-drilling security screws on the 6-lobe pin TX drive, No.8–No.14 as tabulated (No.12 marked CALL in the source and not tabulated here): head diameters 7.7–10.9 mm, head heights 2.2–3.2 mm, tool sizes TX20–TX30. Drills, taps and fastens in one operation.

Specifications
The self-drilling variant folds three operations into one: the drill-point tip pierces the steel, the thread forms as it drives, and the pin-TX recess locks out everything except the matching driver — the collected source describes the solid dowel in the drive as the tamper-resistant element. The collected tabulation covers No.8, No.10 and No.14 cleanly (head diameters 7.7, 9.0 and 10.9 mm, head heights 2.2, 2.6 and 3.2 mm, tool sizes TX20, TX25 and TX30); the No.12 column is marked CALL in the source, so it is not tabulated on this page. The design is classed for medium-torque applications, and the six-lobe engagement gives better torque transfer and less cam-out than Phillips or two-hole drives — less damage to tip, head or panel, and a fixing that is cost-effective to install and remove with the right tool. No length availability is legible in the collected matrix, so lengths are confirmed at quotation. Typical ground is the same as any self-driller: HVAC, cladding, electrical enclosures and steel framing, wherever a drilled, tapped and secured fixing must also resist casual tampering.

Ordering & documentation
Documents
Shipments are backed by Mill Test Certificate (MTC), Dimensional Report, Salt Spray Test Report on request, with full batch traceability from raw material to finished product. Quality management follows the owner-confirmed compliance list: ISO 9001:2015, RoHS, REACH. Exact document sets are confirmed on the order.
Quotation
- The fastener family (TX06 6-Lobe Pin TX Button Head Self Drill Security Screws) plus the standard designation from your drawing — DIN / ISO / JIS / ASTM / ANSI, or a drawing for custom parts.
- Size (diameter and length), thread type (metric or inch), property class or grade, and coating or finish.
- Quantity per size and your target delivery date.
- Destination country, and any required documents (for example a mill test certificate) so the quote includes them.
Sample & supply
Minimum order quantity is 10,000 pieces. Stock items run 3–7 days. Quantities or variants outside the standard range are confirmed at quotation.
Storage & shipping
Parts are packed for export and shipped factory-direct to buyers in Europe, Asia, the Americas and the Middle East. Store fasteners dry and protected until installation, and keep coated parts in their packaging until use; specific packing and preservation requirements can be stated on the order and confirmed at quotation.
Frequently asked questions
Self-tapping versus self-drilling — what changes on site?
The pilot work. A self-tapping screw such as TX04 or TX05 needs a pre-drilled pilot hole; the self-drilling TX06 carries its own drill point and goes through steel sheet in one operation — no separate drilling station, no alignment drift between hole and screw. That is why self-drillers dominate HVAC ducting, cladding rails and electrical enclosures. The trade is point geometry: the drill point is matched to a limited steel thickness range, so state your panel thicknesses on the RFQ to get the right point.
What about No.12?
The collected table lists a No.12 column but marks its dimensions CALL — the source itself does not publish the figures. Rather than borrow No.10 or No.14 numbers, this page leaves No.12 out; if your design needs it, ask for the tabulation at quotation and buy against confirmed dimensions.
What is the MOQ and lead time for these security screws?
Minimum order quantity is 10,000 pieces per item. Stocked sizes ship in 3–7 days; sizes quoted as available to order, and non-standard sizes or materials, are quoted with a confirmed schedule. Confirm the exact schedule against quantity and size mix at quotation.
What should an RFQ for these security screws state?
State the designation code (TX01 through TX20) and head style, the drive (6-lobe pin TX — the matching pin-TX driver or bit is required), nominal thread size and length, material and finish, the substrate or mating nut where relevant, required certificates, and quantity per size — plus destination country.
