Value Collection 0304MSB 3-48 X 1/4 in Binding Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0304MSB is a 3-48 thread, binding head machine screw designed for precision fastening applications in light-duty assemblies. The binding head profile sits low and wide, providing a larger bearing surface than a pan head without the bulk of a truss head, making it well suited for thin panels and sheet metal work. The slotted drive allows installation with a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards for dimensional and mechanical consistency.

This screw is used in electrical panels, instrument enclosures, electronic assemblies, and light mechanical fixtures where a 3-48 thread form is specified. The 0.25-inch length under head suits shallow clearance applications where standard pan or hex head screws would protrude excessively. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 units, this part is appropriate for shop stock, production line use, or service truck inventory where small-frame machine screws are consumed in volume.

Key Features

• 3-48 unified coarse thread for compatibility with standard 3-48 tapped holes
• Binding head profile provides wide bearing surface for thin panel and sheet metal applications
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bit tips
• Steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion protection in indoor environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• Sold in multiples of 100 units for production and service stock use

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 3-48 thread, 0.25-inch length under head, binding head machine screw per ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit in a powered driver set to low torque. Do not overtighten small-frame machine screws, as the 3-48 thread form is susceptible to thread stripping in soft materials such as aluminum or plastic. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving. Power down any energized equipment before fastening screws in electrical or electronic enclosures.
