Value Collection MPOX05016-050BX M5x0.8 Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPOX05016-050BX is a metric machine screw with an oval head and Phillips drive, manufactured from Grade 18-8 A2 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Conforming to DIN 966, this fastener features an M5x0.8 thread and an overall length of 16 millimeters. The 18-8 A2 grade stainless steel provides solid corrosion resistance, making it suitable for a range of indoor and light outdoor applications. Sold in a minimum box quantity of 50, this screw is used by mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing tradespeople wherever a low-profile, countersunk oval-head fastener is required for panel or cover attachment.

This machine screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications where panels, access covers, junction boxes, or equipment enclosures require secure fastening with a flush or slightly raised profile. The oval head sits partially countersunk, offering a clean appearance at installation points visible after assembly. It is appropriate for use in stainless steel, aluminum, and similar pre-tapped or clearance-hole assemblies. The DIN 966 standard ensures dimensional consistency across replacement and production installations.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a Phillips screwdriver or Phillips-tip bit sized for an M5 fastener. Ensure the receiving hole is properly tapped or fitted with an appropriate insert before driving. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure before fastening or removing panel hardware. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners in threaded holes, as galling can occur without proper lubrication or anti-seize compound.
