Value Collection 38002 6-32 X 1/2 in Round Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38002 is a 6-32 x 1/2 inch round head Phillips machine screw manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. This fastener features unified national coarse (UNC) threading and is measured under the head, giving a usable thread length of 1/2 inch. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty applications. Designed without a washer flange, this screw seats directly against the mating surface. Electricians, HVAC technicians, panel builders, and general trades use this screw type for securing covers, brackets, terminal blocks, and light electrical enclosures where a 6-32 thread is specified.

This screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications including electrical panel work, control board mounting, junction box covers, and equipment chassis assembly. The round head profile provides a low-profile, domed bearing surface that distributes clamping load without requiring a separate washer. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power and hand drivers. This SKU is sold in a package quantity of 1 with a minimum order quantity of 50 units.
