Value Collection 0303MPF 3-48 X 3/16 Flat Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0303MPF is a 3-48 x 3/16 inch overall length flat head machine screw with a Phillips drive, manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. Built to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, this screw delivers consistent dimensional accuracy and reliable corrosion resistance for general fastening applications. The flat head profile seats flush with the mating surface when driven into a countersunk hole, making it well suited for applications where a low-profile finish is required. Machinists, assemblers, electricians, and HVAC technicians commonly use screws of this type for panel assembly, light fixtures, and control board mounting.

This screw is sized for light-duty mechanical and electrical assembly work where a 3-48 thread pitch is specified. The 3/16 inch overall length and flush-seating flat head make it appropriate for thin-material fastening in control enclosures, electrical panels, and small appliance or equipment housings. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order, this part is intended for professional trades and production environments where consistent replenishment of standard fastener stock is needed.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3-48 machine screw for use in any application requiring an ASME B18.6.3 compliant flat head Phillips fastener in this thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, electricians, or assembly technicians using a Phillips head screwdriver or compatible power driver bit. Ensure the receiving material has a properly tapped 3-48 thread or a pre-tapped insert before driving. For electrical enclosures and panel work, follow applicable NEC guidelines and de-energize equipment before fastener installation or removal. Do not overtighten, as the small thread diameter can be susceptible to stripping in soft base materials.
