Value Collection 0524MPP 5-40 X 1.5 in Pan Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0524MPP is a 5-40 unified coarse thread machine screw with a pan head and Phillips drive, designed for general-purpose fastening in light metal, plastic, and electrical enclosure applications. The screw measures 1.5 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. It meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, confirming dimensional consistency and material grade J82 compliance. This fastener is a staple for electricians, HVAC technicians, and equipment assemblers working with control panels, junction boxes, and light-gauge assemblies. Supplied individually but ordered in multiples of 100.

This screw is appropriate for residential and commercial applications where a small-diameter, fine-pitch machine screw is required. Common uses include securing terminal blocks, cover plates, control board brackets, and sheet metal sub-assemblies in electrical and HVAC equipment. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface suitable for clearance holes in thin material. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard #2 Phillips bits and screwdrivers. No washer is included or required under the head for typical installations.

Key Features

• 5-40 unified coarse thread for reliable engagement in light metal and tapped plastic
• Pan head profile delivers broad clamping surface with low vertical projection
• Phillips drive compatible with standard #2 Phillips tooling
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• No-washer design simplifies installation in close-tolerance assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for any application requiring a 5-40 x 1.5-inch pan head Phillips machine screw per ASME B18.6.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, HVAC technicians, or equipment assemblers using a #2 Phillips screwdriver or bit driver. De-energize all electrical equipment before removing or replacing fasteners on live enclosures, following applicable NEC lockout/tagout procedures. Do not overtighten into tapped plastic or thin sheet metal, as the fine 5-40 thread can strip under excessive torque. Confirm thread engagement depth is sufficient before applying load.
