Value Collection 0506MPR 5-40 X 3/8 in Round Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0506MPR is a 5-40 UNC machine screw with a round head and Phillips drive, intended for light-duty mechanical assembly in electrical, HVAC, and general trade applications. It measures 3/8 inches in length under the head, is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish, and meets the ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance in dry or lightly exposed environments. Installers working on panel assemblies, brackets, control boards, or equipment enclosures will find this screw sized for standard #5 clearance holes. This item ships as a single package with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

This screw is suited for use wherever a 5-40 thread pitch and compact 3/8-inch under-head length is specified. Common applications include securing sheet metal subassemblies, terminal blocks, small brackets, and plastic or metal enclosures in residential and light commercial HVAC, electrical panel, and plumbing equipment contexts. The round head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface and is compatible with standard Phillips bits. It is installed without a washer per the listed washer style specification.
