Value Collection MPA98132 10-24 X 1/2 Button Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPA98132 is a 10-24 UNC button head machine screw designed for general mechanical fastening in trade and industrial applications. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, it offers reliable corrosion resistance in a compact form factor. The screw measures 1/2 inch in length, measured from under the head. Drive engagement is handled by a Pin-In Torx recess, which provides improved torque transfer and tamper resistance compared to standard hex or Phillips drives. This fastener is well suited for equipment assemblies, panel mounting, and light structural connections where stainless steel is required.

This screw is appropriate for residential and commercial applications where corrosion resistance and a low-profile head are needed. Button head geometry distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface than a standard pan head, making it useful in sheet metal, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and similar assemblies. It is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general maintenance professionals during equipment fabrication or service work. Each package contains 10 pieces.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in humid or wet service environments
• Button head profile delivers a low-profile, wide-bearing surface for panel and enclosure applications
• Pin-In Torx drive improves torque transfer and adds tamper resistance
• 10-24 UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional precision without added coating thickness
• Sold in a 10-piece package with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC fastener for use in any tapped hole or nut meeting the 10-24 Unified National Coarse thread standard in inch-measurement systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed with a Pin-In Torx driver bit of the correct size to avoid fastener damage. Verify the mating tapped hole or nut matches the 10-24 UNC thread standard before driving. When installing in electrical enclosures or energized equipment panels, de-energize and lock out the equipment per applicable NFPA 70 or facility safety procedures before beginning work. Do not overtorque stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur without proper lubrication or controlled torque application.
