Value Collection MPPX03005-100BX M3x0.5 Pan Head Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPPX03005-100BX is a metric pan head machine screw with a Phillips drive, manufactured to DIN 7985 standards. Built from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener delivers solid corrosion resistance in general-purpose mechanical and electrical assembly applications. The M3x0.5 thread size with a 5 mm length under head makes it a common choice in panel fabrication, control enclosures, light fixtures, and equipment assembly where a low-profile, clean-looking head is required. Sold in a box of 100 pieces.

This screw is suited for light-duty fastening tasks across HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture assemblies, and general trade service work. The pan head profile sits flush against flat surfaces without requiring a countersink, and the Phillips drive works with standard hand and power tools. The DIN 7985 designation confirms dimensional conformity to metric fastener standards, making these compatible with metric-tapped components and assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a Phillips screwdriver or a Phillips bit rated for the appropriate torque to avoid cam-out on the small drive size. Always verify the receiving material is tapped to M3x0.5 before driving the fastener. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners into stainless threads, as galling can occur; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound if fastener removal will be required in service. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant codes when used in electrical or HVAC panel assemblies.
