Value Collection MPZX05045-050BX M5x0.8 Pan Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPZX05045-050BX is an M5x0.8 pan head machine screw with a Pozidriv drive, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel (Grade A2) with a bright, uncoated finish. The screw measures 45mm under the head and conforms to DIN 7985, making it a metric-standard fastener suited for general mechanical assembly. The pan head profile provides a low-profile, wide bearing surface, while the Pozidriv drive reduces cam-out during installation. This fastener is appropriate for use in fabrication, equipment maintenance, light structural assembly, and OEM production work requiring corrosion-resistant hardware.

This screw is used in applications where metric fasteners are required and stainless steel is preferred for corrosion resistance. Typical installation scenarios include machine assembly, panel mounting, enclosure construction, and equipment repair in industrial, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing service environments. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides good resistance to rust and oxidation, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per box.

Key Features

• M5x0.8 thread size conforming to metric standards
• 45mm length under head per DIN 7985 fastener standard
• Pan head with 10mm head diameter and 3.95mm head height for a low-profile, wide bearing surface
• Pozidriv size 2 drive reduces cam-out compared to standard Phillips
• 18-8 stainless steel (Grade A2) construction for corrosion resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating that can flake or degrade in service

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric machine screw per DIN 7985, compatible with M5x0.8 threaded holes and nuts in general mechanical assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Install with a Pozidriv size 2 driver bit; standard Phillips bits are not recommended as they will reduce drive engagement and risk cam-out. Ensure the mating thread or nut is M5x0.8 metric before installation. Apply appropriate thread-locking compound or torque specification per the equipment manufacturer's requirements. Stainless steel fasteners can be susceptible to galling — use a compatible anti-seize compound on threads in applications with frequent removal.
