Question: what is a 2b tap?
Answer: Class 2B Thread consists of a 2A screw in a 2B hole. This 2B Thread has wide application, accommodates plating, finishes, and coating to a limited extent and, therefore, has fair tolerance allowances. Class 3B Thread means a 3A Screw in a 3B Nut or threaded hole for applications where tolerance limits are close.
