Abstract

A self-tapping screw includes a head portion, a lower side thereof configured with a screw rod, a front end thereof configured with a drill tail, a first thread segment formed on a front end of the screw rod above the drill tail, a second thread segment with at least two threads formed on a rear end of the screw rod immediately below the head portion, a crest angle of any one of the threads of the second screw segment being 1.15 to 1.2 times of a crest angle of any thread of the first thread segment, and a thread root diameter of the second thread segment increasing proportionally with the crest angle of the second thread segment. Whereby, the present invention provides a self-tapping screw capable of tight locking without idling.
