Value Collection 0808MSB 8-32 X 0.5 in Binding Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0808MSB is a binding head machine screw designed for general fastening applications in metal assemblies, electrical enclosures, and light mechanical components. It features an 8-32 unified coarse thread and a 0.5 inch length under head, making it suitable for through-hole and tapped-hole installations where a low-profile, large-diameter head is needed to distribute clamping force. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. The steel construction with zinc finish provides corrosion resistance in typical indoor environments. These screws conform to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards.

This screw is used in residential and commercial applications involving sheet metal fabrication, electrical panel assembly, HVAC equipment housings, and general mechanical maintenance. The binding head profile is commonly specified where a wide, flat bearing surface is required to seat against thin or soft materials without pull-through. Installers in electrical, HVAC, and light manufacturing trades will encounter this fastener in control panel builds, junction box covers, and equipment sub-assemblies. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• 8-32 unified coarse thread for reliable engagement in standard tapped holes
• Binding head style provides a wide, flat bearing surface to distribute clamping load
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance in indoor environments
• Conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards
• No washer required due to integral binding head geometry

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw for use in any application requiring an 8-32 thread and 0.5 inch length under head with a binding head profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted drive. Ensure the mating hole is tapped or fitted with a nut to the correct 8-32 thread specification before driving. Do not overtorque, as the steel threads can strip lighter gauge tapped material. Power down any electrical equipment before fastening within live enclosures per applicable NEC guidelines.
