Value Collection 0608MSB 6-32 X 1/2 in Binding Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0608MSB is a 6-32 x 0.5-inch binding head machine screw intended for general mechanical assembly applications. The binding head profile sits low and wide, providing a larger bearing surface than a pan head and helping to clamp thin materials securely without pull-through. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flathead screwdrivers, making it straightforward to install in production environments or field service situations. Finished in zinc for basic corrosion resistance, this screw is manufactured from steel and conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. Typical installers include electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assemblers working on enclosures, panels, and light-duty equipment.

This screw is suited for attaching components within electrical enclosures, control boxes, HVAC equipment panels, and similar sheet-metal or light-gauge assemblies where a 6-32 threaded hole is present. The 0.5-inch length under head accommodates thin-to-medium material stack-ups. The binding head style is commonly specified in electrical and electronic panel work where a flush or near-flush installation is required and the larger head diameter provides positive clamping. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order, with packaging in a quantity of 1 unit.

Key Features

• 6-32 thread size, 0.5-inch length under head for light-gauge panel and enclosure work
• Binding head profile delivers a wider bearing surface than standard pan head for secure clamping
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flathead screwdrivers
• Steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards
• No washer required — washer style is without washer

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system machine screw for use in any application with a 6-32 threaded hole requiring a binding head, slotted drive fastener per ASME B18.6.3 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard flathead screwdriver sized to the slotted head. De-energize all electrical panels and enclosures before fastener installation or removal in accordance with applicable NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout/tagout procedures. Do not overtighten into thin sheet metal or plastic standoffs, as stripping the 6-32 thread is a common failure mode. Inspect thread engagement in the mating component to confirm at least full thread depth is achieved before applying final torque.
