Value Collection 583406PR 10-32 X 0.25 in Round Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 583406PR is a 10-32 unified fine thread (UNF) machine screw with a round head and slotted drive, manufactured from alloy steel with a zinc finish. The screw measures 0.25 inches in length under the head, making it suited for tight-clearance fastening applications where a low-profile, compact fastener is required. The zinc coating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance for general indoor and light-duty environments. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, this part is appropriate for production assembly, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who need reliable, standardized hardware in volume.

This screw is commonly used in light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, control panels, and HVAC equipment where 10-32 threaded inserts or tapped holes are present. The round head profile distributes clamping load across the bearing surface without countersinking. The slotted drive accommodates a standard flat-blade screwdriver, which is widely available in field-service kits. Applications span residential and commercial mechanical systems where fine-thread fasteners are specified for metal-to-metal connections requiring controlled torque and thread engagement.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread for precise fit in fine-thread tapped holes and inserts
• Round head profile provides broad bearing surface without countersink prep
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Alloy steel construction for strength in metal fastening applications
• Zinc finish offers basic corrosion resistance for general-use environments
• 0.25-inch length under head suits shallow-depth fastening requirements

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 10-32 UNF round head slotted machine screw with a 0.25-inch length under head, including electrical enclosures, control panel assemblies, and general mechanical equipment with corresponding tapped holes or threaded inserts.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard flat-blade screwdriver sized to match the slotted head. Verify thread engagement in the receiving tapped hole before applying torque to avoid cross-threading, which is a common failure point with fine-thread fasteners. De-energize any electrical panel or control board fully before fastening or removing hardware in energized enclosures. Follow applicable NEC or equipment-manufacturer guidelines for hardware use inside electrical assemblies.
