Value Collection 0510MPP 5-40 X 5/8 in Pan Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0510MPP is a 5-40 pan head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in metal assemblies, enclosures, and light mechanical applications. It features a Phillips drive for fast, one-tool installation and a zinc finish over steel construction for basic corrosion resistance in indoor environments. The thread size is 5-40 with a length under head of 5/8 inches, meeting ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. This screw ships in a package quantity of 1 with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it suited for stocking and production-line use. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical assemblers commonly use fasteners of this type.

This screw is appropriate for light-duty fastening in control panel assembly, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment covers, and similar applications where a small-diameter machine screw with a pan head profile is required. The pan head provides a low-profile bearing surface without requiring a countersunk hole, making it a common choice for sheet metal and thin-plate assemblies. No washer is included or required by the specification.

Key Features

• Thread size 5-40 with 5/8 inch length under head for shallow-clearance fastening
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load without countersinking
• Phillips drive for compatibility with standard screwdrivers and power drivers
• Steel construction with zinc finish for indoor corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards
• Sold in multiples of 100 units for production and stocking applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5-40 machine screw replacement suitable for light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, and equipment panels that call for a pan head Phillips fastener in this thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Install with a Phillips screwdriver or a compatible power driver bit at the appropriate torque for the mating material to avoid stripping the threads or the drive. Ensure the mating hole is tapped or threaded to 5-40 specifications before installation. Zinc-finished fasteners are suitable for dry indoor environments and should not be substituted in applications requiring stainless steel or other corrosion-rated hardware. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening electrical enclosures or control panels.
