Value Collection MPPX03016-100BX M3x0.5 Pan Head Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPPX03016-100BX is an M3x0.5 pan head Phillips machine screw manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Each screw measures 16mm in length under the head and conforms to DIN 7985, the international standard for pan head Phillips screws. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides solid corrosion resistance in light-duty and moderate-exposure environments. This box contains 100 screws, making it a practical quantity for production, repair, and maintenance applications across mechanical, electrical, and light industrial trades.

These screws are suited for general fastening tasks where a low-profile pan head and Phillips drive are required. Common applications include panel assembly, electrical enclosure work, equipment mounting, and light fabrication. The metric M3x0.5 thread size is standard across a wide range of imported and domestic assemblies. The DIN 7985 standard ensures dimensional consistency, which is important for automated assembly or situations where screws must interchange reliably with existing hardware.

Installation Notes

Install with a Phillips screwdriver or bit sized for M3 fasteners. Apply fastener torque appropriate for M3 stainless steel screws per applicable mechanical or electrical assembly standards. Avoid over-torquing, which can strip the Phillips recess or gall stainless steel threads. In electrical enclosure work, follow NEC requirements for hardware used in listed assemblies.
