Value Collection MPZX03016-050BX M3x0.5 Pan Head Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPZX03016-050BX is a metric pan head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in precision assemblies and light structural applications. It features an M3x0.5 thread with a 16mm length under head, a Pozidriv drive, and is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel in a bright, uncoated finish. The 18-8 grade, also designated A2 under DIN standards, provides reliable corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and mildly corrosive environments. Each box contains 50 screws, making it appropriate for recurring maintenance stock or production-line use. This SKU is sold as a box quantity of 50 units per order minimum.

This screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies across HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture brackets, and similar trade applications where a small-diameter metric fastener is required. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface without a washer, and the Pozidriv drive reduces cam-out during installation with the appropriate driver bit. Applications typically include securing control board mounting brackets, junction box covers, and equipment access panels where M3 metric thread is specified.

Key Features

• M3x0.5 thread with 16mm length under head per DIN 7985 standard
• Pan head profile with 6mm head diameter and 2.52mm head height
• Pozidriv drive size 1 mm for reduced cam-out vs. standard Phillips
• 18-8 stainless steel construction with A2 grade designation for corrosion resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish — no additional coating to affect thread tolerances
• Sold in boxes of 50 screws per minimum order quantity

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose metric machine screw for any application specifying an M3x0.5 pan head Pozidriv fastener conforming to DIN 7985.

Installation Notes

Install using a size 1 Pozidriv driver bit — do not substitute a standard Phillips bit, as this will damage the drive recess and increase cam-out risk. De-energize and lock out all equipment before accessing panels or enclosures where these screws are used. Apply only hand-tool torque appropriate for M3 stainless fasteners to avoid thread galling, which is common with stainless-to-stainless thread engagement. Consult equipment manufacturer torque specifications where provided.
