Value Collection 0307MSP 3-48 Pan Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0307MSP is a 3-48 threaded pan head machine screw designed for light fastening applications in electrical, HVAC, and general mechanical assemblies. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Constructed from steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw measures 7/16 inch in length under the head. It meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface suitable for sheet metal, terminal blocks, and enclosure panels. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per transaction.

This screw is a common fastener in residential and commercial service work across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades. It fits standard 3-48 threaded holes in control panels, junction boxes, and equipment enclosures. The 7/16-inch under-head length makes it suitable for thin-gauge material fastening where thread engagement depth is limited. Technicians working on control boards, thermostat sub-bases, and small appliance assemblies will find this size frequently specified by OEM documentation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head. Power down all electrical equipment and de-energize circuits before replacing screws in control panels or terminal enclosures, following applicable NEC guidelines. Do not overtighten into thin sheet metal or plastic standoffs, as the fine 3-48 thread can strip under excessive torque. Verify thread engagement depth against the material stack before selecting screw length.
