Value Collection 0204MSR Machine Screw 2-56 Round Head Slotted

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0204MSR is a 2-56 unified coarse thread machine screw designed for light-duty fastening applications in metal assemblies, electronics enclosures, and precision equipment. It features a round head profile with a slotted drive and is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. The shank measures 0.25 inches in length under the head. It conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. This fastener is typically installed by technicians, machinists, and electronics assemblers working on equipment that uses small-diameter threaded hardware.

This screw is suited for applications requiring a low-profile round head and slotted drive in tight or shallow clearance conditions. Common uses include securing panels, brackets, and small components in electronic assemblies, instrument housings, and light mechanical equipment. The 2-56 thread size is standard in precision and electronics work where small fasteners are required. No washer is incorporated under the head. This item is sold individually but is subject to a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 2-56 unified coarse thread for use in standard small-diameter tapped holes
• Round head profile provides a low, smooth seating surface on the workpiece
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion protection
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards
• No washer style — installs directly against the mating surface

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 machine screw for use in any application with a corresponding 2-56 tapped hole per ASME B18.6.3 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to fit the slotted drive without slipping, which can damage the head or surrounding surface. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to 2-56 before driving the fastener. Do not overtighten — small-diameter machine screws are susceptible to thread stripping in soft base materials. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards and torque guidelines for 2-56 steel fasteners as specified by your project or equipment documentation.
