Value Collection MPFIX0-20012 2-56 Flat Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPFIX0-20012 is a 2-56 x 0.125-inch flat head Phillips drive machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when fully seated, making it suited for assemblies where a smooth exterior face is required. The 2-56 thread designation indicates a No. 2 diameter with 56 threads per inch, a fine-pitch coarse commonly found in small-gauge instrument, electrical panel, and light mechanical assemblies. The 18-8 stainless steel alloy provides corrosion resistance appropriate for both indoor and moderate outdoor environments. Electricians, instrument technicians, and mechanical assemblers are the typical installers.

This machine screw is used in applications requiring a flush-mount fastener at a small diameter, including control panel assembly, electrical enclosure interior hardware, instrument housings, and light-duty mechanical sub-assemblies. The fine 2-56 thread pitch allows controlled torque in thin or tapped sheet metal and threaded inserts. Sold with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package, this fastener is suited for service shops and assembly operations that require a reliable on-hand supply of small-gauge hardware.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 x 0.125-inch flat head Phillips machine screw for use in any application or assembly specifying that thread size, head style, and drive type in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install with a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver or matching power bit to avoid cam-out on the small head. Ensure the mating hole is tapped or threaded to 2-56 specification before driving the fastener. Do not over-torque; small-diameter stainless steel screws are susceptible to galling in stainless-to-stainless thread engagements — apply an anti-seize compound when threading into stainless tapped holes. De-energize and lock out any electrical panel or enclosure before performing fastener work inside live equipment.
