Value Collection MPFI-1200500-050B Machine Screw 12-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPFI-1200500-050B is a 12-24 UNC machine screw with a flat head and Phillips drive, sold in a minimum quantity of 50 pieces. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw measures 0.5 inches in overall length and is designed for general-purpose fastening in light-duty mechanical and electrical applications. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance for use in dry or mildly exposed environments. At 0.01 pounds per unit, these screws are suited for high-volume assembly and panel work where consistent thread engagement and countersunk seating are required.

These flat-head Phillips machine screws are commonly used in electrical enclosures, control panels, HVAC equipment cabinets, light fixture mounting, and similar trade applications where a flush-mount fastener is needed. The 12-24 UNC thread is a standard coarse-thread specification widely used across residential and commercial equipment. Sold in packs of 50, they are appropriate for stocking in service vans or shop bins for routine service and installation work.

Key Features

• 12-24 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Flat head profile sits flush with the surface for clean panel and enclosure installs
• Phillips drive works with standard screwdrivers and power bits
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for light-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in dry environments
• Sold in a 50-piece pack for stocking and service use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stocking fastener for any application requiring a 12-24 UNC flat-head Phillips machine screw with 0.5-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard Phillips screwdriver or a No. 2 Phillips bit in a power driver. Ensure the receiving hole is properly tapped to 12-24 UNC before driving the screw to avoid cross-threading. Do not overtighten Grade 2 fasteners in thin sheet metal or plastic, as the reduced tensile strength compared to higher grades increases the risk of stripping. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening electrical enclosures or panel covers.
