Value Collection 43202 M3x0.5 Cheese Head Slotted Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 43202 is a metric machine screw with a cheese head and slotted drive, manufactured from Grade 4.8 steel with a zinc-plated finish. The M3x0.5 thread and 6 mm length under head make this a standard fastener for light-duty mechanical assemblies. The cheese head profile — a low-profile cylindrical head — provides a flat bearing surface suitable for close-tolerance applications where a pan or round head may not fit. Zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected environments. This fastener conforms to DIN 84 and ISO 1207 standards. Sold in packs of 50.

This screw is used in general mechanical assembly, light fabrication, electronics enclosures, instrument panels, and equipment maintenance. The metric M3x0.5 thread size is common in imported machinery, HVAC controls, motor housings, and panel assemblies. The slotted drive requires a standard flat-blade screwdriver, making it accessible in field service situations where specialty bits are unavailable. No washer is included or required under the head per the DIN 84 specification. Suitable for residential and commercial maintenance applications where Grade 4.8 tensile strength meets the load requirement.

Key Features

• Cheese head profile with flat bearing surface — low-profile cylindrical form per DIN 84 and ISO 1207

• Grade 4.8 carbon steel construction for standard-duty tensile and shear loads
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion protection in indoor and sheltered applications
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Sold in a pack of 50 with a minimum order quantity of 1 pack

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 84 and ISO 1207 metric machine screw for use in any application requiring an M3x0.5 cheese head slotted fastener without washer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening into panels or enclosures. Do not over-torque — Grade 4.8 fasteners at M3 size have a low torque threshold and are susceptible to thread stripping if overtightened. Confirm thread engagement depth in the mating part meets minimum thread engagement recommendations for steel fasteners.
