Value Collection A210400 6-32 Unc Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A210400 is a 6-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for fastening into pre-drilled or punched holes in thin metal, plastics, and composite materials. It features a flat head profile with a Phillips drive and a Type F point, which cuts its own mating thread on installation without requiring a tapped hole. The screw is manufactured from 410 stainless steel in an uncoated finish, providing solid corrosion resistance for general-purpose industrial and mechanical applications. Overall length is 3/8 inch. This fastener is sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces and is suited for use by maintenance technicians, electricians, HVAC installers, and mechanical tradespeople.

This screw is commonly used in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and similar applications where a self-threading fastener is needed in a confined or thin-material environment. The flat head sits flush with the surface after seating, making it suitable for applications where a low-profile finish is required. The Type F point engages material cleanly and reduces the risk of distortion in thin substrates. Field use spans both residential and light commercial service environments.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread size with Type F thread cutting point for self-threading into thin materials
• Flat head profile seats flush with the work surface for a low-profile finish
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power and hand drivers
• 410 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without a coating
• Uncoated finish eliminates coating flake or contamination concerns in sensitive assemblies
• Sold in multiples of 100 for job-site and shop stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for light-gauge sheet metal, electrical enclosures, and mechanical panels where a Type F point and flat head Phillips drive configuration is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified tradespeople using a Phillips-head screwdriver or power driver set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the newly cut threads. Always verify that the substrate material and thickness are appropriate for a Type F thread cutting screw before installation. De-energize electrical equipment and relieve any system pressure before fastening or removing hardware on live panels or pressurized assemblies. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener type and spacing in electrical enclosures.
