Value Collection 580416PR 10-32 X 0.5 in Flat Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 580416PR is a 10-32 unified fine thread (UNF) machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, panels, and enclosures. The flat head profile seats flush with the mating surface when countersunk correctly, and the slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw measures 0.5 inches in overall length. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per transaction, making it appropriate for stocking or batch installation work.

This fastener is suited for light-duty to medium-duty applications across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general equipment assembly. Typical uses include securing control panels, cover plates, terminal strips, brackets, and chassis components where a flush seating surface is required. The 10-32 thread size is a common specification in electronic and light mechanical assemblies, and the UNF designation means a finer thread pitch than coarse-thread equivalents, providing better thread engagement in thin materials.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread for fine-pitch engagement in thin or tapped metal stock
• Flat head profile allows flush or countersunk installation
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Grade 2 steel construction for general-purpose mechanical strength
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion and oxidation resistance
• Sold in multiples of 100 pieces, suitable for bulk stocking and production work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF flat head slotted machine screw for use in any application requiring inch-measurement fasteners with this thread size and head style. Confirm thread engagement depth and countersink angle of the mating part before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot width. Verify the receiving hole is properly tapped to 10-32 UNF before driving the fastener. Do not overtighten, as Grade 2 steel has lower proof load ratings than higher-grade fasteners and may be susceptible to shear under excessive torque. When used in electrical enclosures, follow applicable NEC requirements for fastener accessibility and panel integrity.
