Import MSCD040400 M4x0.7 Cheese Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The IMPORT MSCD040400 is a metric cheese head machine screw designed for general-purpose mechanical fastening in industrial and trade applications. It features a slotted drive and a low-profile cylindrical cheese head, manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. The screw conforms to DIN 84 and ISO 1207 standards, carries a Grade 4.8 material rating, and is supplied with a 40 mm length measured under the head on an M4x0.7 thread. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these screws in panel assemblies, light machinery, enclosures, and equipment frames where a standard metric slot-drive fastener is specified.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial mechanical assemblies where metric fasteners are required. The M4 thread size and 40 mm shank length make it a common choice for thin-to-medium gauge steel and aluminum panel work, electrical enclosures, and instrument mounting. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, making it appropriate for service stock, shop supply bins, or maintenance kits where consistent fastener availability is needed.

Key Features

• M4x0.7 metric thread, 40 mm length under head — fits standard M4 clearance and tapped holes
• Cheese head profile provides a flat bearing surface and low installed height
• Slotted drive compatible with flat-blade screwdrivers and bit drivers
• Zinc-plated steel finish for basic corrosion protection in dry to mildly humid environments
• Grade 4.8 material rating suitable for light-to-medium clamping loads
• Conforms to DIN 84 and ISO 1207 standards for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 84 and ISO 1207 compliant M4x0.7 cheese head machine screw, suitable for use in any assembly specifying that standard thread form and head style.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or electricians depending on the application. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut meets M4x0.7 thread specification before installation. Use a correctly sized flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. Do not overtighten — Grade 4.8 fasteners have lower tensile strength than higher-grade hardware and are not intended for high-torque structural joints.
