Value Collection MS24693-C25 Machine Screw 6-32 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS24693-C25 is a 6-32 flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. It measures 5/16 inches in overall length and meets the MS24693 military fastener standard. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when installed, making it well suited for assemblies where a low-profile or countersunk head is required. The passivated finish improves corrosion resistance beyond the baseline properties of 18-8 stainless. This screw is installed by maintenance technicians, aerospace ground support crews, electricians, and general equipment assemblers working on metal panels, enclosures, and structural components.

This screw is used in light-duty fastening applications across electrical enclosures, instrument panels, sheet metal assemblies, and equipment housings. The 6-32 thread size is a common coarse thread used in electronics and control panel work. The Phillips drive accepts standard Phillips screwdrivers and bits. The MS24693 fastener standard makes this screw suitable for military-spec and commercial applications that specify that standard. No washer is included or required under the head.

Installation Notes

Install with a Phillips screwdriver or Phillips bit driver sized for a number 6 screw. Countersink the mating material to the correct angle before installing a flat head screw to achieve a flush seating surface. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur. Confirm thread engagement depth is sufficient for the application before final assembly.
