Value Collection 0204MSP 2-56 Pan Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0204MSP is a 2-56 pan head machine screw designed for light-duty fastening applications across mechanical assemblies, electrical panels, and general fabrication work. The screw features a slotted drive and a pan head profile, making it compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers. Built from steel with a zinc finish, it meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards. The thread size is 2-56, with a 0.25-inch length measured under the head. This fastener is sold in multiples of 100 units and is a staple in trade shops, panel assembly, and field service kits.

This machine screw is suited for residential and commercial applications where small-diameter, inch-system threaded fasteners are required. Typical uses include securing junction box covers, instrument panels, small enclosures, and light sheet metal or plastic assemblies. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople commonly stock this size for control board mounting, low-voltage panel work, and similar tasks requiring a compact, reliable fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-blade screwdriver sized for a 2-56 slotted pan head fastener. De-energize all circuits and equipment before installing or removing fasteners in electrical or control panel applications, in accordance with NFPA 70E lockout/tagout procedures. Do not overtighten; small-diameter machine screws are susceptible to thread stripping, particularly in softer base materials such as aluminum or plastic.
