Value Collection 0307MPF 3-48 Flat Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0307MPF is a 3-48 threaded machine screw designed for precision fastening in light-duty mechanical and electrical assemblies. It features a flat head profile with a Phillips drive, allowing it to sit flush with or countersunk into the mating surface. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish, the 0307MPF measures 7/16 inches in overall length and meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. This screw is a practical choice for technicians and assemblers working in HVAC controls, electrical enclosures, and small-component mounting applications.

This screw is suited for use in residential and commercial assemblies where a small-diameter, fine-thread fastener is required. The 3-48 thread designation indicates a number 3 screw diameter with 48 threads per inch, making it appropriate for thin-material or close-tolerance applications such as control panel assembly, instrument mounting, and light equipment fabrication. It is installed by licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assemblers who work with small-format hardware regularly.

Key Features

• 3-48 thread size with 48 threads per inch for fine-thread engagement in thin materials
• Flat head profile allows flush or countersunk installation
• Phillips drive compatible with standard and power-assisted screwdrivers
• Steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance in indoor environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• No washer — direct bearing surface contact for compact assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw for use in any assembly requiring a 3-48 thread form with a flat Phillips head. Compatible with pre-tapped holes or nuts meeting ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or bit sized for a number 3 screw head to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to a 3-48 thread specification before driving the screw. Power down any electrical enclosure or control panel before performing fastener work inside. Do not overtighten — small-diameter screws in this class are susceptible to thread stripping in soft base materials.
