Value Collection 656002PS M3x0.5 Flat Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 656002PS is a metric flat head slotted machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening applications across mechanical assembly, fabrication, and maintenance work. Manufactured from Grade 4.8 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw features an M3x0.5 thread size and an overall length of 6 millimeters. The flat head profile sits flush with the surface of the mating material when properly installed, making it suitable for assemblies where a low-profile or recessed finish is required. It conforms to DIN 963 and ISO 2009 dimensional standards, ensuring interchangeability with other DIN-compliant hardware. Sold in multiples of 100 per minimum order.

This fastener is suited for light-duty metal and composite assembly tasks encountered in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture mounting, and general mechanical maintenance. The M3 thread size targets smaller components and brackets where fine thread engagement and a flush-seating head are required. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver, which is common in field service kits. No washer is included or required under the head per the DIN 963 specification. Sold as a package quantity of 1 unit in minimum order increments of 100 pieces.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 963 and ISO 2009 compliant M3x0.5 flat head slotted machine screw suitable for use in any tapped M3x0.5 metric hole requiring a flush-seating fastener without a washer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to fit the M3 slotted head. Ensure the receiving hole is properly tapped to M3x0.5 before driving the screw to avoid cross-threading. Do not overtighten Grade 4.8 fasteners beyond the design clamp load for the mating material. When used in electrical enclosures or equipment panels, follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener specifications.
