Value Collection 95705 Machine Screw 2-56 X 1/2 in Pan Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 95705 is a 2-56 x 1/2 inch pan head Phillips machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The 2-56 thread designation follows Unified National Coarse (UNC) standards, and the 1/2 inch length is measured under the head. The pan head profile provides a low-profile, wide-bearing surface suitable for light clamping loads. The Phillips drive accommodates standard cross-tip screwdrivers and bits. These screws are sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 units per package and are well suited for precision assembly, instrumentation, electronics enclosures, and general light-duty fastening applications where corrosion resistance is required.

This screw is appropriate for residential, commercial, and industrial applications where small-diameter stainless fasteners are needed. Typical uses include securing panels, circuit board standoffs, light sheet metal, and equipment enclosures. The 18-8 stainless steel construction offers good resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making it suitable for humid or mildly corrosive environments. Machinists, electronics technicians, HVAC service technicians, and maintenance professionals commonly use this size when assembling or servicing equipment requiring UNC thread engagement.

Key Features

• 2-56 UNC thread for compatibility with standard #2-56 tapped holes and hex nuts
• 1/2 inch length measured under the head for accurate stack-up calculations
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and oxidation
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional integrity and thread fit
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wide bearing surface
• Phillips drive works with common hand tools and power drivers

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a #2-56 UNC thread machine screw with a pan head and Phillips drive, including standard tapped holes, threaded inserts, and hex nuts of matching thread specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand tool or power driver using a Phillips bit sized for a #2 screw. Apply only enough torque to seat the head flush without stripping the threads in the mating material, particularly when threading into soft substrates. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is free of debris before driving. Stainless fasteners can be prone to galling in stainless tapped holes — use an appropriate anti-seize compound if required by the application.
