Value Collection A210402 6-32 Unc Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A210402 is a 6-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for fastening into pre-drilled or punched holes in thin metal, plastics, and similar materials. It features a flat head with a Phillips drive and a Type F point, which cuts its own mating thread on installation. The body is manufactured from 410 stainless steel in an uncoated finish, providing corrosion resistance suitable for light-duty industrial and mechanical applications. Overall length is 3/4 inches. These screws are sold individually but carry a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making them appropriate for production or repair inventory.

This screw is used in light sheet metal assembly, electrical enclosure work, HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture mounting, and general mechanical fastening where a self-threading fastener is needed. The Type F point engages existing or punched holes and forms clean threads without a tap. The flat head seats flush with the mating surface, keeping profiles low in tight assemblies. Installers in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades commonly stock this size for panel and bracket work.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread size with Type F thread-cutting point — no pre-tapping required
• Flat head profile seats flush with mating surface for low-clearance assemblies
• Phillips drive compatible with standard and powered hand tools
• 410 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without coating
• 3/4-inch overall length suits thin-gauge panel and bracket applications
• Minimum order quantity of 100 pieces supports production and service inventory stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for thin metal panels, electrical enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies where a Type F self-threading screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Thread cutting screws require a properly sized pilot hole to function correctly — consult a standard drill chart for 6-32 UNC to select the correct pilot diameter. Use a Phillips screwdriver or bit driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the head or over-driving into thin material. Power down any electrical enclosure or equipment before fastening near live components. 410 stainless is not fully austenitic and may show surface staining in highly corrosive environments; evaluate suitability for the installation condition before use.
