Value Collection 0648MCR 6-32 X 3 Round Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0648MCR is a 6-32 x 3 inch round head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in light industrial, electrical, and mechanical assembly applications. It features a slotted Phillips drive, allowing installation with either a flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver. The screw is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance. It meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, confirming dimensional accuracy and material grade compliance for use in standard-duty threaded assemblies. The length measurement is taken under the head. Each unit weighs approximately 0.0098 pounds.

This screw is suited for use in electrical enclosures, control panels, junction boxes, HVAC equipment chassis, and similar light-duty fastening applications where a 6-32 threaded hole or nut is present. The zinc coating makes it appropriate for dry or mildly corrosive indoor environments. It is commonly installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assemblers working on equipment that uses inch-series fasteners. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 6-32 thread size with 3 inch length under head for deep reach in panel and chassis applications
• Round head profile distributes clamping load evenly over the fastened surface
• Slotted Phillips drive accepts both flat-blade and Phillips screwdrivers for flexible installation
• Steel construction with zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• Grade J82 material ensures consistent mechanical properties across the fastener

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fastener for any application requiring a 6-32 inch-series threaded machine screw with a round head and slotted Phillips drive.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 6-32 tapped hole or a matching hex nut. De-energize all electrical equipment before fastening screws inside panels or enclosures in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout/tagout requirements. Use a correctly sized Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver to avoid stripping the drive recess. Do not overtighten, as the 6-32 thread is a small-diameter fastener and is susceptible to shear under excessive torque.
