It features a flat head profile with a Phillips drive recess, allowing it to sit flush with or below the mating surface when installed in a countersunk hole. Constructed from steel with a zinc finish, the 0308MPF meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. Overall length is 0.5 inches, measured from tip to top of head. This screw is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 units. Electricians, panel assemblers, and instrument technicians regularly use fasteners in this size range for securing cover plates, terminal blocks, and small enclosure components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 0308MPF is suited for use in electronic assemblies, electrical enclosures, control panels, and precision mechanical devices where a flush or countersunk fastener is required. The 3-48 thread size is a fine-pitch, small-diameter designation common in instrumentation, HVAC control board housings, thermostat assemblies, and light electrical equipment. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-48 unified coarse thread for use in small-diameter tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat head design seats flush when installed in a properly countersunk hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePhillips drive for standard screwdriver or power-tool installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo washer — installs directly against the mating surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard inch-series machine screw for any application requiring a 3-48 threaded flat head Phillips fastener per ASME B18.6.3. Verify thread engagement depth and countersink angle of the mating component before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall using a Phillips screwdriver or a power driver with a properly sized Phillips bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure the receiving hole is tapped to 3-48 and the countersink angle matches the flat head geometry before driving. Do not overtighten — small-diameter machine screws are susceptible to thread stripping in soft substrates. Power down any electrical equipment completely before fastening or removing screws on live assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-48\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Phillips\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: J82\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWasher Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Without Washer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B18.6.3, SAE J82\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.00091 pounds (per unit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161504\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0308MPF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51720153071922,"sku":"0308MPF","price":1331.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310f0f572529e2655f3d097eb749ee83.jpg?v=1788561125","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-0308mpf-3-48-x-1-2-in-flat-head-phillips-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
