Value Collection M38D965 M3x0.5 8mm Flat Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION M38D965 is a metric machine screw designed for precision fastening in light-duty mechanical and electrical assemblies. It features an M3x0.5 thread with an 8.00 mm overall length and a flat countersunk head driven by a Phillips bit. Manufactured from Grade 4.8 steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw conforms to DIN 965 standards. It is well-suited for applications where a flush surface profile is required after installation. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, this fastener is a standard pick for technicians, assemblers, and field service professionals who need reliable metric hardware in volume.

This screw is commonly used in light industrial assemblies, electrical enclosures, control panels, HVAC equipment housings, and consumer electronics where M3 metric fasteners are specified. The flat head profile seats flush into countersunk holes, eliminating protrusion that could interfere with mating surfaces or clearances. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard hand and power screwdrivers used across trades. Its metric sizing makes it appropriate for equipment built to DIN and ISO specifications, common in imported machinery and modern trade equipment.

• Phillips drive compatible with standard hand tools and power drivers
• Grade 4.8 steel construction meets DIN 965 mechanical performance standards
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion protection for indoor and light-duty environments
• Sold in multiples of 100 pieces, suitable for volume service and stocking applications

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 965 standard M3x0.5 flat head Phillips machine screw for use in any application calling for this metric fastener specification. Verify countersink angle and thread pitch in the mating component before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by assemblers, electricians, or HVAC technicians using a Phillips head screwdriver or power driver set to appropriate torque for Grade 4.8 fasteners per the equipment manufacturer's specifications. De-energize any electrical enclosure or equipment before fastening into or near live components. Do not overtighten into plastic or thin-gauge sheet metal, as Grade 4.8 fasteners can strip softer mating materials. Confirm thread engagement and countersink geometry match the application requirements before driving to full depth.
