Value Collection 0806ISP 8-32 X 3/8 Pan Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0806ISP is a pan head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in mechanical assemblies, enclosures, and equipment panels. It features an 8-32 unified coarse thread and a length under head of 3/8 inches, making it well-suited for shallow through-hole or tapped-hole applications. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver, keeping installation simple in the field. The fastener is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty environments. It meets the ASME B18.13a and SAE J82 standards, which govern dimensional and mechanical requirements for slotted pan head screws.

This screw is commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and equipment service pros when securing access panels, control boards, brackets, and sheet metal components inside residential and light commercial equipment. The 8-32 thread size is one of the most widely used machine screw threads in electrical enclosures and control cabinets. This part is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package, making it practical for stocking service vans or shop inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head. De-energize and lock out electrical equipment before accessing control panels or enclosures per NFPA 70E safe work practices. Do not overtighten into tapped plastic or thin sheet metal to avoid stripping threads. Verify thread engagement depth is sufficient for the specified clamp load of the assembly.
