Value Collection 0306MSR Machine Screw 3-48 Round Head Slotted

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0306MSR is a 3-48 unified fine thread machine screw with a round head and slotted drive, manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. It measures 3/8 inches in length under the head and carries a Grade J82 material designation, conforming to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards. This screw is sold without a washer and is intended for use in precision assembly applications where a low-profile round head and slotted drive are specified. Installation is performed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals who require reliable threaded fasteners for panel, bracket, or component attachment work.

The 0306MSR is suited for light-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial settings. Its 3-48 thread size is commonly found in electrical enclosures, control panels, small appliance assemblies, and instrument mounting applications. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor use. This SKU is sold in a package quantity of one unit with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it appropriate for shop stock, service van inventory, or production line procurement.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a tapped or pre-threaded hole sized for a 3-48 thread. Use a flathead screwdriver sized to the slot width to avoid cam-out and head damage. De-energize any electrical panel or control enclosure before fastening screws into or near live components, following applicable NEC guidelines. Do not overtighten, as the small thread size is susceptible to stripping in softer base materials.
