Value Collection 0507MSL 5-40 X 7/16 in Fillister Slotted Machine

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0507MSL is a #5-40 slotted fillister head machine screw designed for precision fastening in metal assemblies. The fillister head profile features a smaller diameter and taller head height than a standard pan head, making it well suited for counterbored holes and confined clearance applications. Constructed from steel with a zinc finish, this screw measures 7/16 inches in length under the head and follows the ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards. The slotted drive accepts a flat-blade screwdriver and is commonly used in instrument, electrical enclosure, and light mechanical assembly work where a low-profile head seating is required.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade and light industrial applications including HVAC control panel assembly, electrical enclosure fastening, motor component mounting, and general equipment fabrication. The #5-40 thread pitch is standard in instrument-grade and small-component assemblies. It is sold in multiples of 100 pieces per order, with a package quantity of 1 unit. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assemblers working with light-gauge steel components and enclosures will encounter this size regularly.

Key Features

• Fillister head profile provides a taller head and smaller diameter for use in counterbored recesses
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance in indoor service environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards for dimensional and material consistency
• 7/16 inches length under head suits thin-panel and light-gauge fastening requirements
• No washer included; designed for use without an integrated washer

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw suitable for any application requiring a #5-40 threaded fastener with a fillister head profile in steel with zinc finish.

Installation Notes

Power down and de-energize any electrical enclosure or control panel before installing or removing fasteners inside. Use a correctly sized flat-blade screwdriver to avoid camming out the slot and damaging the head. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for panel and enclosure hardware. Inspect threads on mating nuts or tapped holes before installation to ensure clean engagement.
