Value Collection 0602MSB 6-32 Binding Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0602MSB is a 6-32 binding head machine screw with a slotted drive, designed for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies and electrical panel work. The binding head profile sits low against the work surface and provides a larger bearing area than a standard pan head, making it a preferred choice when clamping flat conductors or thin sheet stock. Made from steel with a zinc finish, this fastener meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. The 0.125-inch length under head keeps the fastener profile compact for tight clearance applications. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

This screw is suited for light-gauge sheet metal assembly, electrical enclosure work, and instrument panel construction where a 6-32 thread pitch is specified. The slotted drive accepts a standard flathead screwdriver, making it compatible with basic hand tools commonly found in electrical and mechanical service kits. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor applications. Typical users include electricians, panel builders, and mechanical assemblers working on control enclosures and low-voltage equipment.

Key Features

• 6-32 thread size, 0.125-inch length under head for compact fastening in tight spaces
• Binding head style provides a wider bearing surface compared to standard pan or round head profiles
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flathead screwdrivers and driver bits
• Steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance in indoor environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards
• Inch measurement system; length measured as length under head

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 inch-series machine screw suitable for use in applications specifying a binding head slotted fastener per ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82.

Installation Notes

Install with a flathead screwdriver sized to the slot width to avoid cam-out and burring of the drive recess. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before fastening or removing screws inside control enclosures, per NFPA 70E safe work practices. Do not exceed the clamp load appropriate for a 6-32 steel screw in the base material being fastened, as over-torquing can strip threads in thin sheet metal. Verify thread engagement depth before final assembly.
