Value Collection MS24693-C2 Flat Head Machine Screw 4-40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS24693-C2 is a 4-40 flat head Phillips drive machine screw conforming to the MS24693 fastener standard. It features an overall length of 0.25 inches and is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. The passivation process removes free iron from the surface, improving corrosion resistance without altering dimensions or mechanical properties. This screw is suited for precision assembly work in electrical, HVAC, and mechanical applications where a flush-seating fastener is required. Trade professionals and assembly technicians install these in panel enclosures, equipment housings, and light-duty structural connections.

This screw is appropriate for use in residential and commercial equipment assemblies that require a countersunk flat head profile for flush or below-surface seating. Common applications include control panel assembly, instrumentation enclosures, and sheet metal fastening where the 4-40 thread size and short 0.25-inch length are appropriate. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package, making it practical for shop stock or service van inventory.

Key Features

• 4-40 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard tapped holes in light-gauge materials

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in humid or wet environments
• Passivated finish per MS24693 fastener standard removes surface contaminants for extended service life
• Overall length of 0.25 inches suits shallow-depth fastening applications
• Sold in multiples of 100 for efficient shop stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for any application requiring a 4-40 flat head Phillips machine screw with an overall length of 0.25 inches conforming to the MS24693 standard.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized Phillips screwdriver or driver bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure the receiving material has a correctly sized and tapped 4-40 hole or insert before driving. Do not overtorque, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling when driven into stainless tapped holes without appropriate anti-seize compound. A licensed technician or qualified assembler should verify that the fastener grade and length are appropriate for the specific structural or electrical enclosure application before installation.
