Value Collection 0206MSP 2-56 Pan Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0206MSP is a 2-56 pan head machine screw designed for precision fastening in light-duty mechanical and electrical assemblies. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish, this screw measures 0.375 inches in length under the head and uses a slotted drive for installation with a standard flat-blade screwdriver. It meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material grade standards, making it a dependable choice for applications requiring consistent thread engagement and corrosion resistance. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals commonly use screws of this type when securing panels, brackets, terminal strips, and small component housings.

This machine screw is suited for use in residential and light commercial equipment assembly, control panel fabrication, and electronic enclosure work. The 2-56 thread size is a fine-pitch inch-series thread commonly found in small electrical components, instrumentation, and sheet metal assemblies. The pan head profile provides a broad bearing surface and low-profile head that sits flush against thin materials without requiring a countersink. Sold as a single unit with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, this screw is intended for bulk procurement by maintenance departments, contractors, and shop operations.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to fit the slotted drive without slipping, which can damage the head or surrounding material. Ensure mating threads are clean and properly tapped to 2-56 specifications before driving the screw. Do not overtighten, as the fine 2-56 thread is susceptible to stripping in soft base materials such as aluminum or plastic. Power down any electrical equipment before fastening or removing screws in live panel or enclosure work.
