Value Collection MPFX03012-100BX M3x0.5 Flat Head Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPFX03012-100BX is an M3x0.5 flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Built to DIN 965 standards, this screw features a countersunk flat head profile designed to sit flush with or below the mating surface when installed. The 12mm overall length and M3x0.5 thread pitch make it well suited for precise, close-tolerance fastening applications in metal, plastic, and composite assemblies. This box contains 100 pieces, making it a practical stock unit for shop inventory or field kits. Licensed tradespeople, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals use these screws across HVAC panels, electrical enclosures, and mechanical equipment.

This screw is appropriate for light-duty metric fastening tasks in both residential and commercial settings. Common applications include securing control board mounting brackets, enclosure panels, junction box covers, and sheet metal assemblies where a flush fastener profile is required. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and mildly humid environments. The DIN 965 standard ensures dimensional consistency for use in applications requiring interchangeable metric hardware.

Key Features

• M3x0.5 thread size per DIN 965 metric standard for dimensional consistency
• Flat countersunk head profile for flush or sub-flush installations
• Phillips drive for compatibility with common hand and power tools
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in humid or wash-down environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 965 M3x0.5 metric flat head machine screw suitable for use in any application requiring a flush-mount Phillips fastener in that thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or bit sized to the M3 head to avoid cam-out and head damage. De-energize and lock out any electrical or mechanical equipment before accessing fastened panels or enclosures per applicable NFPA 70E or equipment-specific safety procedures. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners into threaded holes, as 18-8 alloy is susceptible to galling — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when threading into stainless or aluminum tapped holes. Verify mating thread pitch and hole diameter before installation to ensure proper engagement.
