Value Collection 0510MSL 5-40 X 5/8 in Fillister Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0510MSL is a 5-40 unified coarse thread machine screw with a fillister head and slotted drive, manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. Measuring 5/8 inches in length under the head, this fastener meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, confirming dimensional accuracy and material grade compliance. The fillister head profile features a relatively tall, cylindrical head with a small outer diameter, making it well suited to recessed or close-tolerance assemblies where a pan or round head would foul adjacent components. Zinc finish provides baseline corrosion resistance for general-purpose indoor and light-duty applications. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100, this screw is sized for use with a standard No. 5-40 tapped hole.

This fastener is used across a wide range of trade and light industrial applications including HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, control boxes, and plumbing fixture assemblies where a compact, recessed-clearance fastener is required. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers or slot-drive bits, which remain common in field service kits. The 5-40 thread size is frequently encountered in instrument panels, small motors, and thin-gauge sheet metal components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by any trade technician working with threaded fastener assemblies. Always verify the receiving tapped hole is clean and undamaged before driving. Use a properly sized flat-blade screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. Do not exceed the torque capacity appropriate for steel No. 5-40 fasteners, and avoid over-driving into thin sheet metal to prevent thread stripping.
