Value Collection 0303MPP 3-48 Pan Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0303MPP is a 3-48 pan head machine screw designed for light-duty fastening applications requiring a low-profile, flush-seated head. Built from steel with a zinc finish, this screw offers basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and controlled-environment use. The Phillips drive accepts standard No. 2 cross-point bits. At 3/16 inch length under head, this fastener targets compact assemblies where thread engagement must be precise. Manufactured to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, it meets consistent dimensional tolerances expected in production and repair environments.

This screw is suited for light sheet metal, thin plastic panel, and small electrical enclosure work where 3-48 thread pitch is specified. It installs in applications across electrical, instrumentation, and light mechanical assemblies. The pan head geometry distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface compared to flat head styles, making it a common choice where countersinking is not practical. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100, this SKU is intended for shop stock, production lines, or service kits requiring a reliable supply of small-diameter fasteners.

Key Features

• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 cross-point bits
• Steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional standards
• Material grade J82 per SAE specification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw for applications specifying 3-48 thread pitch and pan head configuration per ASME B18.6.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or matching power bit. De-energize any electrical assembly before fastening or removing hardware in live panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten small-diameter screws in soft or thin base materials, as stripping is common at this thread size. Inspect mating threads for damage before installation to ensure full thread engagement.
