Value Collection MPPX02512-100BX M2.5x0.45 Pan Head Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPPX02512-100BX is a metric pan head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in industrial, mechanical, and fabrication applications. Manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel (A2), it delivers reliable corrosion resistance in both indoor and mildly corrosive environments. The Phillips drive and pan head profile allow for fast installation with standard tooling. Thread size is M2.5x0.45 with a 12 mm length measured under the head. Sold in a box of 100, this fastener conforms to DIN 7985 and carries a bright, uncoated finish. Installers in electrical, HVAC, and light mechanical assembly commonly use this size for panel mounting, equipment enclosures, and small-component fastening.

This screw is suited for metric-threaded assemblies requiring a low-profile pan head and positive Phillips engagement. The M2.5x0.45 thread pitch targets fine-pitch tapped holes found in electronic enclosures, control boards, terminal blocks, and precision mechanical subassemblies. The 12 mm under-head length accommodates moderate material stack-ups without bottoming out. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for applications where carbon steel fasteners would corrode or contaminate the assembly. This screw ships without a washer and is intended for use in pre-tapped or self-tapping metric holes of the corresponding pitch.

Key Features

• Sold in a box of 100 for shop stock or job-quantity use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 7985 metric machine screw for use in any M2.5x0.45 tapped or pre-threaded hole requiring a pan head Phillips fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or bit sized for the M2.5 head — a PH1 bit is standard for this screw size. Do not overtorque; the small shank diameter is susceptible to torsional failure if driven beyond hand-tight resistance in hard materials. When threading into aluminum or plastic, confirm hole depth and thread count before driving to avoid stripping. In electrical enclosure applications, verify the fastener material is appropriate for any grounding or continuity requirements specified by NEC guidelines.
