Value Collection MPFX03008-100BX M3x0.5 Phillips Flat Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPFX03008-100BX is a metric machine screw with a flat head and Phillips drive, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The fastener measures M3x0.5 thread pitch with an overall length of 8 millimeters. Conforming to DIN 965, it provides a countersunk seating profile suited for applications where a flush surface finish is required. This box contains 100 pieces, making it appropriate for production assembly, maintenance kits, or service stock. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, electrical panel work, and general mechanical assembly regularly rely on stainless fasteners of this type for corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments.

This screw is used in light-duty mechanical assemblies where a metric M3 thread is specified and a flush mount is needed. The DIN 965 flat head profile is common in equipment panels, brackets, access covers, and enclosure hardware across residential and commercial trade applications. The 18-8 stainless steel construction resists oxidation without the need for additional coating, which simplifies part selection in mixed-material assemblies. Sold in a box of 100, this quantity suits ongoing service work or small production runs.

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application specifying a DIN 965 M3x0.5 flat head Phillips machine screw in 18-8 stainless steel without washer.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a matching Phillips screwdriver or bit sized for an M3 fastener. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastener work on electrical enclosures or control panels. Avoid overtorquing stainless steel fasteners, as 18-8 alloy is susceptible to galling — use appropriate thread lubricant or anti-seize when installing into stainless or aluminum tapped holes. Confirm that the receiving material is countersunk to the correct DIN 965 angle before driving to flush.
