Value Collection 0202MSL 2-56 X 1/8 in Fillister Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0202MSL is a 2-56 machine screw designed for precision fastening applications in light-duty assemblies. Featuring a fillister head with a slotted drive, this screw measures 1/8 inch in length under the head and is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. The 2-56 thread designation follows inch-series unified coarse standards, making it a common choice in small mechanical assemblies, instrument panels, and electrical enclosures. Licensed trade professionals and assembly technicians working with fine-threaded fasteners will find this screw conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards.

This screw is suited for use in residential and commercial applications where small-diameter, fine-thread fasteners are required. Typical installation scenarios include securing components inside control panels, electrical enclosures, instrumentation housings, and light-gauge metal assemblies. The fillister head profile provides a taller head height and deeper slot than a standard pan head, allowing for better driver engagement in confined or recessed clearance situations. Sold in multiples of 100 per order.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use fastener for applications requiring a 2-56 x 1/8 inch fillister head slotted machine screw per ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation of small machine screws should be performed by qualified assembly technicians or trade professionals familiar with fine-thread fastener applications. Use a properly sized flat-blade screwdriver to avoid camming out or deforming the slotted head. De-energize any electrical equipment and follow applicable lockout/tagout procedures before securing components inside live enclosures. Avoid over-torquing 2-56 hardware, as small-diameter steel screws are susceptible to thread stripping in soft or thin base materials.
