Value Collection MPFD030400-100B M3x0.5 Flat Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPFD030400-100B is a metric flat head Phillips machine screw engineered for general-purpose fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, and industrial equipment. Manufactured from Grade 4.8 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this screw conforms to DIN 965 dimensional standards. The M3x0.5 thread size paired with a 40 mm overall length makes it well suited for through-fastening thin panels and light-gauge components where a flush, countersunk seating profile is required. Sold in a minimum quantity of 100 pieces per order.

This fastener is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC control panel assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, sheet metal work, and light mechanical assembly. The flat countersunk head sits flush with or below the mating surface when installed in a properly prepared countersink, making it appropriate wherever a low-profile finish is needed. It is installed using a standard Phillips driver and is compatible with metric-threaded nuts, inserts, and pre-tapped components dimensioned to M3x0.5 specifications.

Key Features

• DIN 965 standard flat head geometry for consistent countersink fitment
• M3x0.5 thread pitch for use with standard metric M3 hardware
• 40 mm overall length suits through-fastening of panels and light assemblies
• Grade 4.8 steel provides adequate tensile strength for general-purpose use
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic protection against oxidation in dry indoor environments
• Phillips drive compatible with standard hand drivers and power tools

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose metric machine screw for use with M3x0.5 threaded holes, nuts, and inserts in panels, enclosures, and mechanical assemblies conforming to DIN 965 countersink geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips screwdriver or power driver sized for the M3 fastener head. The mating surface should be drilled and countersunk to DIN 965 specifications before installation to ensure the head seats flush. Apply consistent torque to avoid stripping the Grade 4.8 steel head or cross-threading the M3x0.5 engagement. Always de-energize any electrical assembly before installing or removing fasteners on live panels.
