Value Collection MS24693-C17 Machine Screw 2-56

Product Description

The Value Collection MS24693-C17 is a 2-56 threaded flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. It measures 5/32 inches in overall length and conforms to the MS24693 military fastener standard. The passivated surface treatment enhances corrosion resistance by removing free iron from the stainless steel surface. This screw is suited for precision assemblies requiring a flush-mount fastener with a Phillips drive. Machinists, assembly technicians, and maintenance professionals working on electronic enclosures, instrumentation, and light mechanical assemblies are the primary installers.

This fastener is used in applications requiring a small-diameter, flush-seating screw in corrosion-resistant material. The 2-56 thread size and 5/32-inch overall length make it appropriate for thin-panel assemblies, PCB mounting hardware, instrument housings, and aerospace-adjacent or military-spec equipment where MS24693 compliance is specified. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fastener for applications specifying MS24693-series 2-56 flat head Phillips screws in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a Phillips screwdriver sized for a number 2-56 screw; use of a properly sized driver prevents cam-out and head damage on small-diameter fasteners. Ensure the mating tapped hole or threaded insert is clean and free of debris before driving. Do not exceed the torque appropriate for a 2-56 thread in the mating material, as small-diameter stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling. Power down or de-energize any assembly before inserting fasteners near electrical components.
