Import MPOD030100-050BX M3x0.5 Oval Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The IMPORT MPOD030100-050BX is a metric machine screw with an oval head and Phillips drive, manufactured from Grade 4.8 steel with a zinc finish. The thread size is M3x0.5 with a length under head of 10 millimeters. Conforming to DIN 966, this fastener is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where a low-profile, countersunk-style head is required. Installation is straightforward with a standard Phillips screwdriver. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty applications. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per package.

This fastener is used in general mechanical assembly applications across HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, pump housings, and light industrial equipment. The oval head profile sits flush or slightly above the mating surface, making it a practical choice where a finished appearance is needed on sheet metal or plastic panels. Typical installers include HVAC technicians, electricians, and equipment service professionals performing panel reassembly or component mounting tasks.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver sized for an M3 fastener. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to M3x0.5 before driving the screw to avoid cross-threading. De-energize any electrical equipment before performing panel or enclosure assembly work. Do not overtighten Grade 4.8 fasteners in soft materials such as aluminum or plastic, as the thread may strip.
