Value Collection 0208MSF 2-56 X 0.5 in Flat Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0208MSF is a 2-56 x 0.5-inch overall length flat head machine screw designed for precision fastening in light-gauge assemblies and electrical enclosures. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish, it meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it a reliable choice for applications where corrosion resistance and dimensional consistency matter. The slotted drive works with standard flat-blade screwdrivers, keeping the tool requirement simple in tight spaces. This screw ships in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package, suited for bench stock, MRO replenishment, and small-batch production runs. Installers and assemblers working with fine-thread fasteners in delicate or thin-material applications will find this screw dimensionally consistent and finish-ready.

The 0208MSF is appropriate for residential and commercial electrical panel work, instrument enclosures, control boxes, and light mechanical assemblies where a No. 2-56 thread form is specified. The flat head profile seats flush with or below the material surface, which is important where clearance is limited or a smooth finished face is required. This screw is commonly used by electricians, electronics technicians, HVAC control board assemblers, and general maintenance trades working with fine-thread fastener specifications.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stock fastener for any application specifying a No. 2-56 x 0.5-inch flat head slotted machine screw per ASME B18.6.3.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted drive to avoid cam-out and slot damage. Pre-drill or tap the mating material to the correct 2-56 minor diameter before driving to prevent thread stripping in thin stock. Do not overtighten, as the small thread form is susceptible to shear in soft base materials. Follow applicable assembly drawings or torque specifications provided by the equipment manufacturer.
