Value Collection MPPX02516-100BX M2.5x0.45 Pan Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPPX02516-100BX is a pan head, Phillips drive machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Conforming to DIN 7985, this metric fastener has an M2.5x0.45 thread and a 16 mm length measured under the head. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides solid corrosion resistance suitable for general-purpose mechanical assemblies. Sold in a box of 100, this fastener is used by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general tradespeople wherever a small-diameter metric machine screw is required in light-duty metal or plastic assemblies.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial applications requiring a compact metric fastener with a low-profile pan head. Typical uses include securing electrical panel components, instrument enclosures, equipment covers, and small mechanical assemblies. The Phillips drive makes installation straightforward with standard hand tools or a power driver. The DIN 7985 standard ensures dimensional consistency, making this screw a reliable choice for production assembly, service work, and repair applications across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose DIN 7985 metric machine screw suitable for M2.5 threaded holes and clearance applications across light-duty mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or bit sized to the fastener drive to avoid cam-out and head damage. Verify thread engagement depth before tightening to prevent stripping in shallow tapped holes. When fastening into dissimilar metals, consider the potential for galvanic corrosion and select an appropriate thread-locking compound or isolation hardware as needed. De-energize electrical equipment fully before working in any enclosure where these fasteners are being installed or replaced.
