Value Collection 0202MSB Machine Screw 2-56 X 1/8 in Binding Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0202MSB is a 2-56 x 1/8 inch binding head machine screw designed for precise, low-profile fastening in light-duty mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards for dimensional accuracy and material grade. The binding head profile provides a slightly domed, undercut head that grips sheet material and thin panels securely without a separate washer. The slotted drive accommodates a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Maintenance technicians, assemblers, and trade professionals working on enclosures, electrical panels, or instrument housings will find this fastener suitable for fine-thread applications requiring a clean, corrosion-resistant finish.

This screw is well suited for use in residential and light commercial applications where fine-thread engagement is needed in thin materials. Common install scenarios include electronics enclosures, control panel assemblies, instrument brackets, and small mechanical subassemblies. The 2-56 thread size is a standard unified coarse designation for number 2 diameter fasteners at 56 threads per inch, making it a common choice wherever fine clamping force and controlled torque are required in compact assemblies. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 2-56 thread size with 1/8 inch length under head for compact, fine-thread fastening
• Binding head profile eliminates the need for a separate washer on sheet and panel material
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Steel construction with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in general indoor environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• Grade J82 material designation confirms consistent mechanical properties across the lot

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for assemblies requiring a 2-56 binding head slotted machine screw per ASME B18.6.3 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head. Power down and de-energize any electrical enclosure or control panel before servicing fasteners within it. Avoid over-torquing this fine-thread screw in thin or soft base materials, as the small thread diameter is susceptible to stripping. Follow applicable assembly drawings or manufacturer torque specifications for the host equipment.
