Value Collection MPOX03010-050BX M3x0.5 Oval Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPOX03010-050BX is an M3x0.5 oval head Phillips drive machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel (A2) with a bright, uncoated finish. Conforming to DIN 966, this fastener features a countersunk oval head profile that sits slightly above the mating surface for a finished appearance. At 10 mm overall length, it is suited for light-duty metric fastening applications where corrosion resistance and a clean head profile are required. Licensed tradespeople and mechanical assemblers install these screws using a standard Phillips driver. Each box contains 50 pieces.

These screws are commonly used in HVAC panel assemblies, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture brackets, pool equipment housings, and general light-gauge sheet metal or plastic component fastening. The DIN 966 standard ensures dimensional consistency for metric assemblies. The 18-8 A2 stainless steel construction makes them appropriate for mildly corrosive or wet environments where a carbon steel fastener would be unsuitable. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per box, making them practical for service stock or job-lot procurement.

Key Features

• DIN 966 standard oval head Phillips drive for consistent metric fitment
• 18-8 A2 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or mildly harsh environments

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 966 metric machine screw for use in any M3x0.5 threaded application requiring an oval head Phillips fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install with a correctly sized Phillips screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure the mating hole is tapped or drilled to M3x0.5 specification before driving. When installing into metal panels or enclosures, avoid overtightening, which can strip the thread or distort thin-gauge material. In electrical or HVAC applications, follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for panel hardware.
