Value Collection M316D965 Flat Head Phillips Screw M3x0.5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION M316D965 is a flat head Phillips machine screw designed for metric fastening applications in light to medium-duty assemblies. Built to DIN 965 standards, this screw features an M3x0.5 thread size with a 16 mm overall length and a countersunk flat head profile that sits flush with or below the surface of the mating material. Manufactured from Grade 4.8 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it provides reliable corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial, mechanical, and electrical enclosure work. This SKU ships in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per pack.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial applications where a low-profile fastener is required in sheet metal panels, junction boxes, equipment enclosures, and light structural assemblies. The flat countersunk head and Phillips drive make it compatible with standard Phillips screwdrivers and power drivers commonly used by electricians, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades. The metric M3x0.5 thread pitch is standard across a wide range of European and Asian OEM equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard Phillips screwdriver or a Phillips bit in a power driver sized for an M3 fastener. Ensure the receiving material is properly tapped or has a matching M3x0.5 threaded insert before driving. Do not overtorque — Grade 4.8 fasteners have defined proof load limits and are not intended for high-stress structural joints. De-energize any electrical equipment before installing or removing fasteners in live panels or enclosures.
