Value Collection 085012PS M3x0.5 Pan Head Slotted Screw 12mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 085012PS is a metric pan head machine screw with a slotted drive, manufactured from Grade 4.8 steel with a zinc finish. The M3x0.5 thread and 12 mm length under head make this screw a standard fastener for light-duty mechanical assemblies, enclosures, and equipment panels. Grade 4.8 designates a medium-strength carbon steel fastener suitable for general-purpose clamping and assembly work. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance in dry to mildly humid environments. This screw conforms to DIN 85 and ISO 1580 dimensional standards, ensuring dimensional interchangeability with other compliant hardware. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications where a low-profile pan head and slotted drive are specified. Typical applications include mounting small components to sheet metal panels, securing electrical enclosure covers, light structural bracketing in HVAC equipment interiors, and general mechanical assembly requiring a metric M3 fastener. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and is commonly specified in applications where a simple, tool-accessible fastener is preferred. No washer is included or integrated; a separate washer must be used if required by the application.

Key Features

• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Grade 4.8 steel construction for medium-strength general-purpose fastening
• Zinc finish offers basic corrosion resistance for dry and mildly humid environments
• No integrated washer; without-washer style for clean thread engagement

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose metric machine screw conforming to DIN 85 and ISO 1580 standards, suitable for use in any application specifying an M3x0.5 pan head slotted fastener with a 12 mm length under head.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head to avoid cam-out and head damage. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure or equipment before inserting fasteners near live components. Do not exceed the torque appropriate for a Grade 4.8 M3 fastener into the mating material; over-torquing a small-diameter metric screw will strip threads. Consult applicable mechanical or electrical codes for fastener specifications in safety-critical assemblies.
