Value Collection C52000490 Machine Screw 2-56 X 1/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C52000490 is a 2-56 x 1/8 inch pan head Phillips machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It uses a unified coarse thread (UNC) pattern at the No. 2-56 thread size, making it suited for precise fastening in compact assemblies. The pan head profile provides a low-profile, flat-bearing surface. Length is measured under the head at 1/8 inch. Machinists, assemblers, and maintenance technicians use these screws in light-duty mechanical, electronic, and instrument panel applications where corrosion resistance and consistent thread engagement are required.

This screw is commonly used in residential and commercial equipment assembly, control panel mounting, small instrument housings, and electronic enclosures. The 18-8 stainless steel construction resists oxidation and mild corrosive environments, making it a practical choice for indoor mechanical assemblies and light-duty outdoor applications. The Phillips drive accommodates standard power and hand drivers, supporting fast installation in production and service environments alike.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver or bit driver. Always verify the mating hole is tapped to the correct 2-56 UNC specification before driving the screw to avoid cross-threading. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur; apply appropriate anti-seize if repeated removal is expected. Power down any energized equipment before accessing fastened panels or enclosures.
