Value Collection 35817 Pan Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 35817 is a 10-32 UNF pan head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in metal assemblies, enclosures, and light structural applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw measures 0.5 inches in length under head and features a Phillips drive for compatibility with standard screwdrivers and power drivers. It is commonly installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical trades in panel assembly, equipment mounting, and component securing tasks.

This screw is suited for fine-thread applications requiring a 10-32 UNF thread form, which provides higher thread engagement per inch compared to coarse-thread alternatives. The pan head profile offers a low-profile, broad bearing surface appropriate for through-hole fastening where a flush or countersunk finish is not required. Typical applications include sheet metal enclosures, electrical panels, HVAC equipment covers, and light-duty machine assembly. The zinc finish provides a baseline level of oxidation resistance for indoor and sheltered installations.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine thread for higher thread engagement in tapped holes
• Pan head profile with broad bearing surface for through-hole fastening
• Phillips drive compatible with standard and power screwdrivers
• Grade 2 steel construction for general-purpose mechanical strength
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion protection for indoor use
• No washer — clean installation without additional hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF pan head machine screw for use in any application requiring this thread size and head style. Suitable for tapped holes or use with a matching 10-32 nut.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or power driver set to an appropriate torque setting to avoid stripping the drive or thread. Ensure the mating hole is tapped to 10-32 UNF or that a matching nut is used. Power down any electrical equipment before fastening screws in or near live panels. Use thread-locking compound if vibration is a concern in the application.
