Import MPOD030160 M3x0.5 Oval Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The IMPORT MPOD030160 is a metric machine screw designed for light-duty mechanical fastening in assemblies where a low-profile oval head and Phillips drive are required. Built to DIN 966 standards, this screw features an M3x0.5 thread with a 16.00 mm length under head, a steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, and a Grade 4.8 material rating. It is suited for use in panel assemblies, light equipment enclosures, and similar applications where a countersunk-style oval head is specified. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.

This fastener is appropriate for residential and commercial equipment assembly, field service repairs, and light industrial applications. The oval head profile sits slightly above the mating surface and provides a finished appearance at countersunk or chamfered holes. Phillips drive allows installation with standard hand tools or power drivers. The zinc finish provides basic protection against oxidation in dry or mildly humid indoor environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard Phillips screwdriver or power driver set to a low torque clutch setting to avoid stripping the Grade 4.8 threads. Ensure mating holes are properly tapped or threaded for M3x0.5 before installation. Do not overtighten, as Grade 4.8 hardware is not rated for high-clamp-load applications. Shut down and de-energize any equipment before accessing fastened panels or enclosures.
