Value Collection 0204MPF 2-56 X 0.25 in Flat Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0204MPF is a 2-56 unified fine thread machine screw with a flat head and Phillips drive. Manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish, it meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards. The flat head seats flush with the mating surface when installed into a countersunk hole, making it a common choice where a low-profile fastener is required. At 0.25 inches in overall length, this screw is suited for light-duty fastening in compact assemblies. Licensed electricians, electronics technicians, HVAC service techs, and general maintenance trades routinely use 2-56 fasteners in control panels, circuit board standoffs, and enclosure hardware.

This screw is used in residential and light commercial applications wherever a small-diameter, fine-thread fastener is needed. Typical install scenarios include securing terminal covers, small electrical enclosure panels, instrument housings, and other sheet-metal or light-gauge assemblies. The Phillips drive allows use of standard screwdrivers and power drivers with a PH0 or PH1 bit. The zinc plating provides moderate corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and protected environments. This part is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 2-56 unified fine thread for secure engagement in small tapped holes
• Flat head profile seats flush in countersunk applications
• Phillips drive compatible with PH0 and PH1 bits
• Steel construction with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in indoor environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards for dimensional accuracy and material grade
• Inch measurement system; overall length equals length under head at 0.25 inches

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 x 0.25-inch flat head Phillips machine screw suitable for any application requiring ASME B18.6.3 compliant inch-series fasteners of this thread and length.

Installation Notes

Install using a PH0 or PH1 Phillips screwdriver or power driver bit; using an oversized bit risks cam-out and head damage on this small-diameter fastener. The mating hole should be properly tapped to 2-56 UNC or the countersink pre-formed to accept a flat head profile before driving. Avoid overtorquing, as the small shank diameter limits clamp load capacity. Always de-energize any electrical assembly before removing or replacing fasteners on live panels.
