Value Collection MS24693-C268 Flat Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS24693-C268 is a 10-32 flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured to the MS24693 fastener standard. It measures 0.25 inches in overall length and is machined from grade 18-8 stainless steel, making it resistant to corrosion in demanding service environments. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when installed, and the Phillips drive accepts standard No. 2 Phillips bits. These screws are sold in packages of 100 units minimum and are suited for precision fastening applications where a flush finish and stainless steel construction are required.

This screw is appropriate for use in aerospace, HVAC panel assembly, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assembly where a 10-32 unified fine thread and flush-mount head style are specified. The MS24693 military standard designation indicates a controlled thread form and dimensional tolerance, making these screws a common choice for contractors and maintenance technicians working to spec-driven requirements on commercial and light industrial equipment.

Key Features

• 10-32 unified fine thread for positive thread engagement in tapped metal panels
• Flat head profile seats flush with the mating surface when countersunk
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits and power drivers
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without plating
• Conforms to MS24693 fastener standard for dimensional consistency
• No washer — head seats directly against the countersunk bearing surface

Compatibility

Designed as a flush-mount replacement or service fastener for any application specifying a 10-32 x 0.25-inch overall length flat head Phillips machine screw per the MS24693 standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified mechanical or electrical technician. Ensure the receiving hole is properly countersunk to the flat head angle before installation to prevent head stand-off or surface damage. Power down and de-energize any electrical enclosure or panel before accessing interior fastener locations. Use a correctly sized Phillips bit to avoid cam-out and fastener head damage.
