Value Collection MPZX03006-050BX M3x0.5 Pan Head Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPZX03006-050BX is a metric machine screw designed for precision fastening in light-duty mechanical assemblies. It features an M3x0.5 thread with a 6.00 mm length under head, a pan head profile, and a Pozidriv drive recess. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel (Grade A2) with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw resists corrosion in moderate environments. It conforms to DIN 7985, the standard governing pan head screws with cross recesses. Supplied in a minimum quantity of 50 pieces, this fastener is suited for equipment assembly, enclosure work, and instrumentation applications where a metric thread pitch of 0.5 mm is specified.

This screw is commonly used in light mechanical, electrical enclosure, and instrumentation assembly work. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface suitable for sheet metal, plastic panels, and thin structural components. The Pozidriv drive reduces cam-out compared to a standard Phillips recess, making it a practical choice for production assembly or field service work where a consistent drive is needed. It is installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical trades working with metric-fastened equipment and control panels.

Key Features

• M3x0.5 metric thread, 6.00 mm length under head per DIN 7985
• Pan head profile provides a broad, flat bearing surface for sheet metal and panels
• Pozidriv drive recess reduces cam-out during installation
• 18-8 stainless steel construction (Grade A2) for corrosion resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish — no additional coating to affect thread tolerance
• Sold in packs of 50 to support production and service inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose metric machine screw conforming to DIN 7985, suitable for use in any application requiring an M3x0.5 pan head fastener with a Pozidriv drive.

Installation Notes

This screw is installed by hand or with a Pozidriv screwdriver or bit — do not substitute a standard Phillips driver, as this can damage the drive recess and reduce holding torque. Ensure the mating thread is tapped or threaded to M3x0.5 specification before installation. In stainless-to-stainless applications, apply an anti-seize compound to prevent galling. Power down any equipment or panel before fastening screws in live enclosures.
