Value Collection 0208MPR 2-56 X 0.5 in Round Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0208MPR is a 2-56 thread, round head, Phillips drive machine screw manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. At 0.5 inches length under head, this screw follows ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it a reliable choice for precision fastening in light-gauge assemblies, electronic enclosures, and small mechanical components. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty environments. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package. This fastener is handled by maintenance technicians, electricians, and assembly professionals working on panel or equipment builds.

This machine screw is suited for applications requiring a small-diameter, fine-pitch thread in steel components. Common uses include securing panels, terminal blocks, small brackets, and enclosure covers in electrical, HVAC control, and light mechanical assemblies. The round head profile provides a low-profile, finished appearance and broad bearing surface for thin-gauge materials. No washer is required or included with this fastener style.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or power driver bit sized for a No. 2-56 screw to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to 2-56 thread specification before driving. Do not overtighten — small-diameter machine screws are susceptible to thread stripping in thin-gauge or softer base materials. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening electrical panel components.
