Value Collection 0306MPP 3-48 Pan Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0306MPP is a 3-48 x 3/8 inch pan head machine screw with a Phillips drive, manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. It meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it a reliable choice for precision fastening in light mechanical assemblies. The pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface and low-profile appearance, while the Phillips drive allows for consistent torque application with standard tooling. This screw is sold in multiples of 100, suitable for production or service environments where consistent hardware is needed in quantity. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians rely on this fastener for general-purpose applications.

This screw is suited for use in sheet metal enclosures, electronic assemblies, HVAC control panels, and similar light-duty mechanical applications requiring a 3-48 thread. It is used wherever a small-diameter machine screw with a pan head and Phillips drive is called for. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor or protected environments. It is installed without a washer and measured as length under head.

Key Features

• 3-48 thread size for fine-pitch, light-duty fastening applications
• 3/8 inch length under head for appropriate engagement in thin materials
• Pan head style provides a wide bearing surface and a flat underside
• Phillips drive for use with standard screwdrivers and power tools
• Zinc finish for basic corrosion protection in indoor environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 3-48 machine screw for use in applications requiring ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 compliant fasteners without a washer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assemblers using a standard Phillips screwdriver or appropriate bit. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Do not overtighten small-diameter machine screws, as thread stripping can occur in softer base materials. Follow applicable codes and torque guidelines provided by the assembly manufacturer.
