Value Collection 0205MSF 2-56 Flat Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0205MSF is a 2-56 unified coarse thread machine screw engineered for light-duty fastening applications. It features a flat head profile with a slotted drive, allowing installation with a standard flat-blade screwdriver. The screw is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance and meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. The overall length is 5/16 inches, with the full length measured under the head as well. This fastener is sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces and is well-suited to production, maintenance, and repair tasks across mechanical and electrical assemblies.

The 0205MSF is used wherever a small-diameter machine screw is required to fasten thin panels, covers, or components in tight spaces. Common applications include electronic enclosures, instrument panels, small appliance housings, and light mechanical assemblies. The flat head countersinks flush with the mating surface, making it appropriate for applications where a smooth finish is required. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assemblers regularly use 2-56 screws in control boxes, low-voltage panels, and equipment covers.

Key Features

• 2-56 unified coarse thread for reliable engagement in small tapped holes
• Flat head design allows flush countersunk installation
• 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
• Sold in multiples of 100 for production and maintenance use

Compatibility

Designed for use in any tapped or pre-threaded hole sized for a 2-56 unified coarse thread fastener. Suitable as a direct replacement or standard installation screw in light mechanical and electrical assemblies requiring a flat head slotted profile.

Installation Notes

Install with a flat-blade screwdriver sized appropriately for the slotted head to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped or threaded to 2-56 specification before installation. Do not overtighten, as the small thread diameter is susceptible to stripping in soft base materials. De-energize any electrical panel or equipment before installing or removing screws on live assemblies.
