Value Collection 0203MSB 2-56 Binding Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0203MSB is a 2-56 binding head machine screw designed for precision fastening in light-duty mechanical and electronic assemblies. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver, and the binding head profile provides a low-profile clamping surface suited for panel and terminal applications. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, this screw conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. The length under head measures 3/16 inch, making it appropriate for thin-material fastening where thread engagement depth is critical.

This screw is used in residential and commercial electronic enclosures, instrument panels, terminal boards, and small mechanical assemblies where a No. 2-56 thread is specified. The binding head style is commonly selected for electrical terminal and wiring applications where the wider bearing surface helps retain thin conductors or washers under the head. Installation is performed by electricians, electronics technicians, and mechanical assemblers working to inch-series fastener specifications.

Key Features

• Thread size 2-56 inch series for precision light-duty fastening

• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance
• Conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards
• Length under head 3/16 inch for thin-material installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series 2-56 machine screw for use in any application requiring a binding head slotted fastener conforming to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head. De-energize any electrical assembly before installing or removing fasteners in live panels or terminal boards. Avoid overtightening, as the 2-56 thread is susceptible to stripping in soft or thin base materials. Follow applicable assembly specifications for torque guidance specific to the mating material.
