Import MSCD030100 Cheese Head Slotted Machine Screw M3x0.5

Product Description

The IMPORT MSCD030100 is a metric machine screw with a cheese head and slotted drive, manufactured to DIN 84 and ISO 1207 standards. Built from Grade 4.8 carbon steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener provides reliable corrosion resistance for general-purpose mechanical assemblies. The M3x0.5 thread and 10mm length under head make it a compact, precision fastener suited for panel mounting, equipment enclosures, and light machinery. Installation is straightforward with a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general trades use this screw wherever a low-profile cheese head and slotted drive are specified.

This screw is used in a wide range of light-duty mechanical and electrical assembly applications. Its metric thread designation and compliance with DIN 84 and ISO 1207 make it a standard choice in equipment manufactured to European or international specifications. It installs without a washer and measures thread length from directly under the head. Common install scenarios include control panel fabrication, junction box assembly, and component mounting in HVAC and electrical equipment where an M3 thread pitch of 0.5mm is required.

Key Features

• M3x0.5 metric thread — complies with DIN 84 and ISO 1207 standards
• Cheese head profile provides a wide bearing surface and low overall height
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Grade 4.8 steel offers adequate tensile strength for light-duty fastening applications
• Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in indoor and light-exposure environments
• No washer required — length measured from under the head

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric replacement fastener for equipment and assemblies specifying an M3x0.5 cheese head slotted screw per DIN 84 or ISO 1207.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Do not overtighten — Grade 4.8 fasteners have defined torque limits; consult the equipment manufacturer's specifications. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment service documentation when replacing fasteners in electrical enclosures or HVAC control panels.
