Value Collection HTCIF0-600370US-100BX 6-32 Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HTCIF0-600370US-100BX is a 6-32 UNC thread cutting screw designed for creating internal threads in materials without requiring a pre-tapped hole. The hex head accepts a standard hex driver or wrench, and the Type F point features a blunt, thread-cutting tip that displaces material to form a secure mating thread. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, sheet metal work, and panel fabrication. The under-head length measures 0.375 inches. This box contains 100 screws.

This screw is used in residential and light commercial applications where a reliable machine-thread fastener is needed in pre-drilled or punched holes in thin metal, plastic, or similar substrates. Typical install scenarios include electrical enclosure assembly, HVAC control panel fabrication, equipment housing assembly, and general mechanical maintenance work. The 6-32 UNC thread size is a standard machine screw thread widely encountered across trade applications in control boxes, junction covers, and equipment panels.

Key Features

• Type F point cuts threads directly into the base material, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole
• Hex head design accepts hex drive tools and wrenches for controlled torque application
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for light-duty mechanical fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in interior environments
• 6-32 UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with standard machine screw tooling and hardware
• Sold in a box of 100 to support production, service, and maintenance stock needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC thread cutting screw suitable for use in thin metal, plastic, and similar substrates where self-threading machine screw fasteners are required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical tradespeople during panel assembly or equipment service. Ensure the base material is suitable for thread cutting before driving the screw, as over-torquing can strip the formed threads. Power down all equipment and de-energize panels before fastening work on live enclosures. Use a hex bit driver or appropriately sized wrench to seat the screw flush without damaging the head or workpiece.
