Value Collection 0306MPF Machine Screw 3-48x3/8 Flat Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0306MPF is a 3-48 threaded flat head machine screw designed for secure, flush-surface fastening in light-duty mechanical and electrical assemblies. Measuring 3/8 inches in overall length, this screw features a Phillips drive for compatibility with standard screwdrivers and power drivers. It is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance. The J82 material grade meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards, making it suitable for general-purpose applications where consistent thread quality and dimensional accuracy are required. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

This screw is used in residential and light commercial settings wherever a flush-mount fastening point is needed. Common applications include control panel assembly, electrical enclosure work, small appliance repair, and light mechanical fabrication. The flat head profile seats flush with or below the material surface, eliminating protrusion in finished assemblies. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals routinely use this size for securing covers, brackets, and terminal boards.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose machine screw suitable for standard 3-48 tapped holes in metal panels, brackets, and enclosures across residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped 3-48 hole or a pre-threaded receptacle. Use a Phillips screwdriver or bit sized for the head to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. De-energize any electrical equipment before driving screws into control panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten, as the small thread form is susceptible to stripping in thin-gauge material.
