Value Collection MPFX03016-100BX M3x0.5 Flat Head Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPFX03016-100BX is an M3x0.5 flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the surface of the workpiece, making it a standard choice for assemblies where a low-profile fastener is required. At 16 mm overall length, this screw meets DIN 965 dimensional standards. It ships in a box of 100 pieces, suited for production line use, MRO stock, or field kits where consistent metric hardware is needed across multiple installations.

This screw is appropriate for light to medium mechanical assemblies in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The M3x0.5 thread size and DIN 965 flat head geometry are common in equipment panels, junction enclosures, HVAC control boards, pump housings, and general sheet metal fabrication. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and moderately humid environments. Technicians working in plumbing, electrical, and HVAC trades will find this fastener compatible with standard metric Phillips drive tools. The box quantity of 100 supports both single-job and stocking applications.

Key Features

• M3x0.5 thread size with 16 mm overall length per DIN 965 specification
• Flat head profile for flush or countersunk installations
• Phillips drive compatible with standard PH1 and PH2 screwdrivers and bits
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in damp or humid environments
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating variation to affect thread tolerance or torque feel
• Box quantity of 100 pieces for production, MRO, or field stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric DIN 965 flat head machine screw for use in any application requiring an M3x0.5 thread pitch. Suitable for tapped holes or use with M3 hex nuts and lock nuts across a broad range of mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using a PH1 or PH2 Phillips bit appropriate to the head recess depth. Power down any electrical or mechanical system before fastener service to prevent contact with live components. Avoid overtorquing stainless steel fasteners into stainless or aluminum tapped holes, as galling can occur without lubrication. Verify thread engagement depth meets the minimum required by the assembly specification before finalizing torque.
