Value Collection 0604TS Steel Thumb Screw 6-32 Oval Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0604TS is a steel thumb screw with a 6-32 UNC thread and an oval head profile, designed for hand-tightening applications where tools are impractical or unnecessary. The screw features a shoulder-style shank, an overall length of 0.25 inches, and a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance. The oval head measures 0.41 inches in diameter and 0.29 inches in height. The shoulder diameter is 0.24 inches. This fastener is suited for light-duty assembly work in electrical enclosures, instrumentation panels, access covers, and similar applications where frequent removal is expected. Machinists, electricians, and equipment assemblers are the typical installers.

This thumb screw is commonly used in applications requiring tool-free fastening and repeated access, such as securing cover panels on electrical boxes, control enclosures, and light industrial equipment. The with-shoulder design helps locate and retain mating components during assembly. The 6-32 UNC thread is a widely used coarse-thread standard in instrumentation and light-gauge sheet metal work. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC replacement or new-installation thumb screw suitable for light-duty panel cover, enclosure, and instrumentation fastening applications requiring tool-free access.

Installation Notes

Install by hand into a pre-tapped 6-32 UNC hole. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not use a driver tool, as over-torquing an oval-head thumb screw can strip the thread or damage the head. Verify panel or enclosure power is off before servicing any fasteners on live electrical equipment per NEC guidelines.
