Value Collection 0303MSR 3-48 X 3/16 in Round Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0303MSR is a 3-48 threaded machine screw designed for light-duty fastening applications where a low-profile round head and slotted drive are required. Made from steel with a zinc finish, this screw measures 3/16 inch in length under the head and conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and light mechanical use. This fastener is well suited for electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assemblers who need a reliable small-diameter screw for panel work, equipment enclosures, and instrument mounting.

The 0303MSR is used in applications requiring a no. 3-48 thread form, which is common in small electrical enclosures, control panels, instrumentation housings, and light sheet metal assemblies. The round head profile sits above the work surface and is suitable where a low bearing surface is acceptable. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers. This screw is sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces, making it appropriate for shop stock, service vans, and assembly line use.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose machine screw for applications requiring a no. 3-48 thread, round head, and slotted drive in accordance with ASME B18.6.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard flat-blade screwdriver sized to match the slotted head. De-energize any electrical equipment or control panel before installing or removing fasteners in live enclosures, following applicable NEC guidelines. Avoid over-torquing small-diameter screws, as the 3-48 thread form is susceptible to stripping in thin or soft materials. Verify thread engagement depth is adequate for the mating component before final tightening.
