Value Collection 0612TSP Steel Thumb Screw 6-32 Oval Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0612TSP is a steel thumb screw with a 6-32 UNC thread and an oval head profile. It features a shouldered shank design that positions and retains panels or covers without additional hardware. The head diameter measures 0.28 inches, the head height measures 0.30 inches, and the shoulder diameter is 0.24 inches. Overall length is 3/4 inch. The fastener is uncoated carbon steel, Material Grade 2, suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where hand-tightening is required. Electricians, panel builders, and equipment assemblers commonly install this style of fastener in enclosure and chassis work.

This thumb screw is used in applications where frequent removal and reinstallation of panels, access doors, or covers is expected. The oval head provides a low-profile grip surface, and the shoulder locates the fastener concentrically in a clearance hole. Typical install environments include electrical enclosures, instrument panels, HVAC control cabinets, and light sheet-metal assemblies. The 6-32 UNC thread is one of the most common machine-screw standards in inch-system panel work.

Installation Notes

Install by hand into a pre-tapped or threaded insert rated for 6-32 UNC. Do not use power tools to drive thumb screws, as oval heads are not designed for tool torque and may strip. Ensure the mating panel hole is sized to accept the 0.24 inch shoulder diameter for proper seating. De-energize any electrical enclosure before servicing fasteners on live panels.
