Value Collection 085004PS M3x0.5 Pan Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 085004PS is a pan head slotted machine screw designed for general mechanical assembly applications. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish, this metric fastener meets DIN 85 and ISO 1580 standards and carries a material grade of 4.8, indicating a medium-strength carbon steel construction. The M3x0.5 thread size and 5mm length under head make it well suited for light-duty clamping and fastening tasks in machinery, enclosures, and equipment panels. Installation is straightforward with a standard flat-blade screwdriver. This screw ships in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package, making it appropriate for production runs or service stock replenishment.

This fastener is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications where a low-profile pan head and slotted drive are required. Typical installations include HVAC control enclosures, electrical junction box covers, plumbing equipment panels, and general sheet metal or light structural assemblies. The metric M3x0.5 thread pitch is common in imported equipment and DIN-standard components. No washer is incorporated into this fastener; it is supplied without a built-in washer style per specification.

Key Features

• M3x0.5 metric thread with 5mm length under head for precise, standardized fitment
• Pan head profile provides a wide, low-profile bearing surface suitable for thin material fastening
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers for easy installation and removal
• Steel construction with zinc finish offers corrosion resistance for indoor and protected environments
• Grade 4.8 material rating confirms medium tensile strength appropriate for light mechanical assemblies
• Conforms to DIN 85 and ISO 1580 fastener standards for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service stock fastener for any application calling for a DIN 85 or ISO 1580 compliant M3x0.5 pan head slotted machine screw with a 5mm length under head.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to fit the slotted drive without slipping, which can damage the drive recess or surrounding material. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Do not overtighten; grade 4.8 fasteners are not intended for high-torque or safety-critical structural joints. Verify thread engagement depth meets the requirements of the assembly being serviced.
