Value Collection 0208MSR 2-56 Round Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0208MSR is a 2-56 machine screw with a round head and slotted drive, designed for precision fastening in light-duty mechanical assemblies. The screw measures 0.5 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. It conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it a recognized grade J82 fastener in the inch measurement system. This type of fastener is commonly installed by machinists, electronics technicians, maintenance mechanics, and field service professionals working on small-frame equipment, enclosures, and instrument panels.

This screw is suited for applications requiring a small-diameter threaded fastener in tight clearances or lightweight assemblies. Typical use cases include securing terminal blocks, circuit board standoffs, instrument housings, panel covers, and similar hardware in both commercial and light industrial settings. The round head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface suitable for thin sheet metal and plastic substrates where a flat or pan head is not required.

Key Features

• Thread size 2-56 for fine-pitch fastening in small-frame assemblies
• Round head with slotted drive for standard flat-blade screwdriver installation
• 0.5 inches length under head accommodates thin-stock applications
• Steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards for dimensional consistency
• No washer — clean seating directly against the mating surface

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for applications requiring a 2-56 inch-series machine screw with a round head and slotted drive in steel construction.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head. De-energize and lock out any electrical or mechanical equipment before fastener replacement or assembly work. Torque to the assembly specification defined by the equipment manufacturer. Verify thread engagement depth is sufficient for the mating material to ensure joint integrity.
