Value Collection 586007PR 2-56 X 5/16 Flat Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 586007PR is a 2-56 flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. It measures 5/16 inches in overall length and features a countersunk flat head profile designed to sit flush with or below the surface of the mating material. The thread designation is 2-56, meaning a No. 2 diameter with 56 threads per inch, conforming to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. This screw is intended for use in precision assembly, light mechanical, and electrical enclosure applications where a low-profile fastener is required.

This fastener is suited for residential and light commercial assembly work, instrument panels, electrical junction boxes, small equipment enclosures, and similar applications requiring a fine-thread No. 2 machine screw. The Phillips drive allows for use with standard hand drivers or power tools. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance in mild environments. Machinists, assemblers, and electricians working with small-format hardware will find this screw appropriate for general-purpose fastening tasks where flush mounting is specified.

Key Features

• 2-56 thread (No. 2 diameter, 56 threads per inch) for fine-thread engagement
• Flat countersunk head profile seats flush with the mating surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 1 Phillips screwdrivers and bits
• Steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• No washer style — bare shank under head for clean seating

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 flat head Phillips machine screw for use in any application requiring an ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 compliant inch-series fastener of this size.

Installation Notes

Install with a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver or matching power bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure the mating hole is properly countersunk to the correct angle to allow the flat head to seat fully flush. Do not overtighten in soft materials such as aluminum or plastic, as the fine 2-56 thread strips easily under excess torque. Power down any electrical enclosure or equipment before fastening hardware in or around live components.
