Value Collection MPPX03020-100BX M3x0.5 Pan Head Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPPX03020-100BX is a metric pan head machine screw with a Phillips drive, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It carries an M3x0.5 thread profile and measures 20 millimeters in length under head, conforming to DIN 7985 dimensional standards. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides solid corrosion resistance in general-purpose applications where exposure to moisture or mild chemicals is a concern. This fastener is sold in a box of 100 pieces, making it a practical stock item for shops, service fleets, and maintenance operations requiring consistent metric hardware on hand.

This screw is suited for light-duty fastening tasks across HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture assemblies, and general mechanical assemblies where a metric M3 thread is specified. The pan head profile sits flush to low-profile above the mating surface, providing broad bearing contact without a countersink. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard hand drivers and power bits. Applications typically include securing sheet-metal covers, control board mounting brackets, and instrumentation panels in both residential and light commercial settings.

Key Features

• M3x0.5 thread size for precise metric fastening applications
• Pan head with Phillips drive for easy installation with common hand and power tools
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in damp or mildly corrosive environments
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and resists galling during installation
• Conforms to DIN 7985 standard for consistent dimensional interchangeability
• Sold in a box of 100 for efficient stocking and reduced per-unit cost

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 7985 metric pan head machine screw suitable for M3-threaded holes in sheet metal, plastic, and light-duty mechanical assemblies across HVAC, electrical, and general industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or a power driver fitted with the appropriate Phillips bit. Avoid overtightening stainless steel fasteners, as 18-8 alloys are susceptible to galling under excessive torque. Confirm the mating thread is clean and free of debris before driving. No special tools or trade licensing are required for standard fastener installation.
