Value Collection 0520MSP 5-40 X 1-1/4 in Pan Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0520MSP is a pan head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in light mechanical assemblies, enclosures, and equipment panels. Threaded 5-40 with a 1-1/4 inch length under head, this screw features a slotted drive for use with a standard flat-blade screwdriver. The steel construction with zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments. Manufactured to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, it delivers consistent thread form and head geometry for reliable clamping in sheet metal, plastic, and thin-gauge steel applications. Installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assemblers on production or service work.

The 0520MSP is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a small-diameter, fine-thread fastener is required. Typical uses include securing control board housings, electrical enclosure covers, fan blade hubs, and other thin-material assemblies where a pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface without a washer. No washer is included or required by design. Sold in minimum quantities of 100 per order, with individual package quantity of one.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot to avoid cam-out and head damage. De-energize all electrical equipment and follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer lockout procedures before replacing fasteners on live panels or control boards. Do not overtighten into plastic or thin sheet metal to prevent thread stripping. Inspect mating threads for damage before installation.
