Value Collection 0203MPP 2-56 Pan Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0203MPP is a 2-56 pan head Phillips machine screw designed for precision fastening in light-duty mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish, this screw measures 3/16 inches in length under the head and conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface and broad clamping area, making it a reliable choice for sheet metal, electrical enclosures, and small equipment assembly. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals use this fastener where a Phillips drive and fine 2-56 thread pitch are specified.

This screw is suited for applications requiring a fine-thread, inch-series fastener in light gauge materials or threaded inserts. Common installation scenarios include instrument panels, electronics enclosures, small appliance chassis, and precision mechanical components where torque requirements are low and thread engagement in thin material is critical. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order, sold as a package quantity of 1.

Key Features

• 2-56 thread size with fine pitch for secure engagement in thin or tapped materials
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface for even clamping load
• Phillips drive for compatibility with standard hand and power tools
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor applications
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• No washer included; washer-free design for flush or close-clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series 2-56 machine screw suitable for threaded holes, tapped sheet metal, and hex nuts or coupling nuts conforming to ASME B18.6.3 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a Phillips-head screwdriver or bit driver sized for a number 2-56 thread. Ensure the mating thread or tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving. Do not overtighten, as the small thread diameter is susceptible to stripping in soft or thin base materials. Always verify thread engagement depth meets design requirements before final assembly.
