Value Collection 085017PS M3x0.5 Pan Head Slotted Screw 40mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 085017PS is a metric pan head machine screw designed for general fastening applications in light- to medium-duty assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 4.8 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw features an M3x0.5 thread and a 40mm length measured under the head. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers. It conforms to DIN 85 and ISO 1580 dimensional standards. This fastener is commonly installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly line workers requiring a standardized metric screw in industrial or commercial settings.

This screw is suited for use in sheet metal assemblies, light structural bracketing, electrical enclosures, and general-purpose machinery where an M3 metric thread pitch is specified. The pan head profile provides a low-profile, broad bearing surface suitable for clearance holes in thin materials. Supplied in multiples of 100, this fastener is appropriate for production and repair environments requiring consistent metric hardware to DIN and ISO standards.

Key Features

• M3x0.5 metric thread for precise fitment in standard metric tapped holes
• 40mm length under head for deeper thread engagement in thicker materials
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface with low head height
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Grade 4.8 steel construction meets DIN 85 and ISO 1580 dimensional standards
• Zinc finish provides basic protection against oxidation in dry environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or production fastener for applications specifying an M3x0.5 pan head slotted machine screw conforming to DIN 85 or ISO 1580 standards.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head to avoid cam-out and head damage. Verify that the mating tapped hole or nut meets M3x0.5 thread specifications before installation. Apply thread engagement of at least 1.5 times the screw diameter in steel to achieve rated clamp load. Do not exceed the torque rating of Grade 4.8 fasteners, as overtightening can cause thread stripping or fastener failure.
