Value Collection 0505MPP 5-40 X 5/16 in Pan Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0505MPP is a 5-40 pan head machine screw designed for light-duty mechanical fastening applications across industrial, electrical, and general assembly work. The screw features a Phillips drive, a pan head profile, and measures 5/16 inches in length under head. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish, it meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it a reliable choice for applications that require a recognized fastener grade. This item is sold in a package of 1, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it well suited for production or service operations requiring consistent, standardized fasteners.

This screw is appropriate for use in control panel assembly, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment housings, light-gauge metal components, and similar trade applications where a small-diameter machine screw with a low-profile pan head is required. Its zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and protected environments. Technicians and assembly workers in HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical trades will find this fastener fits standard tapped holes and clearance holes sized for a No. 5-40 thread.

Key Features

• 5-40 thread size with 5/16 inch length under head for precise, low-profile fastening
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load evenly over the fastened surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits and screwdrivers
• Steel construction with zinc finish for strength and basic corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards for consistent dimensional accuracy
• Sold in multiples of 100 for production and service volume requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw for use in any tapped or clearance hole sized for a 5-40 thread, including control enclosures, electrical panels, HVAC component brackets, and light-gauge metal assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or matching bit driver. Ensure the mating thread in the tapped hole or nut is also 5-40 before installation to avoid cross-threading. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening components inside live panels, following applicable NEC guidelines. Avoid over-torquing small-diameter machine screws in tapped holes, as this can strip threads in soft metal substrates.
