Value Collection 0506MPP 5-40 X 3/8 in Pan Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0506MPP is a 5-40 x 3/8 inch pan head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, and light industrial applications. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish, this screw follows ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it a reliable choice wherever a standardized inch-series fastener is required. The Phillips drive pan head profile provides a low-profile seating surface and works with common hand and power drive tools. Length is measured under the head, giving installers a consistent reference for clearance calculations in threaded assemblies.

This machine screw is suited for use in residential and commercial equipment panels, control enclosures, junction boxes, and light-duty mechanical assemblies. Trade professionals including electricians, HVAC technicians, and equipment installers commonly use 5-40 fasteners when working with small-gauge steel components, mounting brackets, and terminal strips. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected outdoor environments. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.
