Value Collection 0303MSP Pan Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0303MSP is a pan head, slotted drive machine screw in a 3-48 thread size with a 3/16-inch length under head. Made from steel with a zinc finish, this screw meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it a reliable choice for general-purpose fastening in light mechanical and electrical assemblies. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance in indoor applications. This fastener ships in a package quantity of 1 with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, suited for shop stock, panel assembly, or service kit replenishment by electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors.

This screw is commonly used in light-duty machine assembly, electrical enclosures, control panel work, and similar applications where a compact, inch-system fastener is required. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface, and the slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers. Its small 3-48 thread is typical in instrument and light electrical hardware applications where fine threading and a secure hold in tapped holes are needed.

Key Features

• 3-48 thread size for fine-thread fastening in light mechanical and electrical assemblies
• Pan head profile with slotted drive for standard flat-blade screwdriver installation
• 3/16-inch length under head for low-clearance fastening situations
• Steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance in indoor environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards
• Sold in multiples of 100 — suitable for shop stock and bulk service use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system machine screw for use in any tapped or pre-drilled application requiring a 3-48 thread, including electrical enclosures, instrument panels, and light mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head. Ensure the mating hole is tapped to 3-48 specifications before driving to avoid cross-threading. Do not over-torque; small-diameter screws at this thread size are susceptible to shear if force is excessive. Follow applicable codes such as NEC guidelines when using fasteners in electrical enclosures.
