Value Collection 0605MST 6-32 Truss Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0605MST is a 6-32 truss head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, and sheet metal applications. It features a slotted drive and a low-profile truss head that distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface than a standard pan or round head. The screw is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance in typical indoor environments. At 5/16 inches in length under head and conforming to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82, this fastener meets standard dimensional and performance requirements for inch-series machine screws. It is commonly installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 6-32 thread form is required and a low-profile head is preferred. The truss head profile makes it a practical choice when fastening thin panels, electrical boxes, or equipment covers where head clearance is limited. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers. This item is sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces per order, with each package containing 1 piece as received from the distributor.

Key Features

• 6-32 thread size conforming to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards
• Truss head provides a wider bearing surface for thin or soft substrates
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Steel construction with zinc finish for indoor corrosion resistance
• 5/16 inches length under head for shallow-depth fastening applications
• Material grade J82 per SAE specification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 inch-series machine screw replacement for use in electrical, HVAC, and light mechanical assemblies requiring a truss head slotted fastener per ASME B18.6.3.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-blade screwdriver sized for a No. 6 slotted head. Power down any electrical equipment before fastening into enclosures or panels in accordance with applicable NEC lockout/tagout procedures. Do not overtighten into thin sheet metal or plastic substrates, as the truss head is not intended for high-clamp-load applications. Inspect the zinc finish prior to use in any environment where moisture exposure may accelerate corrosion.
