Value Collection 0205MSP 2-56 Pan Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0205MSP is a 2-56 unified coarse thread machine screw designed for precision fastening in light-duty mechanical and electrical assemblies. The pan head profile provides a low-profile, broad bearing surface suited for flush or near-flush applications. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish, this screw meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. Thread size is No. 2-56 with a length under head of 5/16 inches. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

These machine screws are used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications where small-diameter threaded fasteners are required. Typical uses include securing electrical components, control board housings, instrument panels, junction box covers, and light-duty equipment enclosures. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected environments. This fastener is appropriate for use by electricians, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors working with small-gauge hardware in control panels or equipment assemblies.

Installation Notes

De-energize all electrical equipment before installing fasteners in or near live components. Use a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot to avoid cam-out and head damage. Do not overtorque small-diameter screws — seat them until snug and secure without stripping the thread or drive. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening within electrical enclosures.
