Value Collection 656308PS M3x0.5 Flat Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 656308PS is a metric flat head slotted machine screw designed for general fastening applications across mechanical assembly, fabrication, and equipment maintenance. Built to Grade 4.8 steel with a zinc finish, this screw meets DIN 963 and ISO 2009 dimensional standards. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the mating surface, making it well suited for assemblies where a low-profile or countersunk installation is required. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per transaction.

This fastener is intended for use in light-duty to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where metric threading is specified. Common applications include panel mounting, equipment enclosures, machine guards, and general fabrication work. The M3x0.5 thread pitch and 8 mm overall length make this screw a typical choice for small component fastening in HVAC equipment housings, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and similar trade applications where metric hardware is called out by design or OEM specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to fit the slotted head. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped or threaded to M3x0.5 specification before driving the screw. Do not overtighten Grade 4.8 fasteners beyond the torque limits appropriate for the material being fastened. Zinc-finished fasteners are intended for dry or lightly corrosive indoor environments and should not be substituted for stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware in wet or outdoor installations.
