Nsi Industries tp205sfc Machine Screw 8-32 X 1/2 in 100-pack

Product Description

The NSI INDUSTRIES tp205sfc is a Torx Pin flat head machine screw in an 8-32 thread size with a 1/2-inch length, sold in a 100-pack. The Torx Pin drive, also known as a tamper-resistant Torx, features a center pin in the recess that requires a matching security bit for installation or removal. This design is common in access panels, electrical enclosures, and equipment housings where unauthorized disassembly needs to be discouraged. Electricians, panel builders, and maintenance technicians typically stock these fasteners when working on protected equipment assemblies.

This screw is suited for light-gauge metal and panel fabrication applications where a flush, low-profile head is required. The 8-32 unified coarse thread is a standard machine screw size widely used in electrical boxes, control panels, and equipment enclosures. The flat head design sits flush with or below the surface of the mating material, making it appropriate where protrusion could interfere with covers or adjacent components.

Key Features

• Tamper-resistant Torx Pin drive requires a security bit, discouraging unauthorized removal
• Flat head profile sits flush with the mounting surface
• 8-32 unified coarse thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 1/2-inch length suited for light-gauge panel and enclosure applications
• 100-pack quantity supports stocking and bulk installation work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 x 1/2-inch tamper-resistant machine screw for use in electrical enclosures, control panels, and equipment housings that require a flat head fastener with a Torx Pin drive.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a T-series Torx Pin security bit sized to match the screw head recess. De-energize any electrical enclosure before fastening or removing hardware inside. Follow applicable NEC guidelines when working within electrical panels or control cabinets. Do not overtighten into tapped holes in sheet metal, as thread stripping can occur in thin-gauge material.
