Value Collection MPZX03505-050BX M3.5x0.6 Pan Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPZX03505-050BX is a metric pan head machine screw designed for precision fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, enclosures, and equipment. It carries an M3.5x0.6 thread profile and measures 5.00 mm in length under the head. The drive type is Pozidriv, which provides better torque transfer and reduced cam-out compared to a standard Phillips interface. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel to Grade A2 per DIN 7985, the fastener offers solid corrosion resistance in mildly wet or humid environments. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per package, making it well-suited for shop stock or service kit replenishment.

This screw is appropriate for light-duty metric fastening tasks encountered across HVAC controls, electrical panel components, pump housings, instrumentation brackets, and similar equipment where a small-diameter stainless fastener is required. The bright, uncoated finish keeps dimensional tolerances tight and avoids coating buildup in tapped holes. Technicians working in corrosion-sensitive environments often specify 18-8 or A2 stainless for this size range. The pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface than a flat or oval head, making it a common choice when countersinking is not practical.

Key Features

• M3.5x0.6 thread size and 5.00 mm length under head for precise metric fastening
• Pan head profile provides broad bearing surface without requiring a countersink
• Pozidriv drive reduces cam-out and improves torque transfer over standard Phillips
• 18-8 stainless steel, Grade A2, per DIN 7985 for corrosion resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains close tolerances in tapped holes
• Packaged in quantities of 50 for bench stock and service kit use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 7985 metric pan head machine screw for use in any application requiring an M3.5x0.6 thread, 5.00 mm length under head, with a Pozidriv drive interface.

Installation Notes

Install with a Pozidriv screwdriver or bit sized for the PZ1 or PZ2 profile appropriate to this screw diameter. Verify the mating tapped hole thread pitch is M3.5x0.6 before installation. De-energize or isolate any equipment before installing fasteners near electrical components. Avoid over-torquing small-diameter metric screws, as 18-8 stainless can gall in stainless or aluminum threads without proper lubrication.
