Value Collection 0310MPP Machine Screw 3-48 Pan Head Phillips

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0310MPP is a 3-48 x 5/8 inch pan head machine screw designed for secure fastening in light-duty mechanical and electrical assemblies. Built from steel with a zinc finish, this screw meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it a dependable choice for production, maintenance, and repair applications. The Phillips drive allows fast installation with standard tooling. The 5/8 inch length is measured under the head, ensuring consistent depth in tapped holes. These screws are sold individually by package quantity of 1 unit, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

This screw is suited for use in residential and commercial electrical panels, control boards, enclosures, small appliances, and light mechanical assemblies wherever a 3-48 thread is specified. The pan head profile distributes clamping load across a broader surface area than flat or oval head styles, making it a common choice for sheet metal, plastic, and thin-material fastening scenarios. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals commonly use this size for securing terminal blocks, covers, and component brackets.
