Value Collection MS24693-C28 6-32 Flat Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS24693-C28 is a 6-32 x 0.5 inch overall length flat head Phillips drive machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. It conforms to the MS24693 fastener standard, making it a recognized specification part for aerospace, military, and industrial maintenance applications. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when fully driven, reducing snag points and maintaining a clean assembly. The passivated finish improves corrosion resistance by removing free iron from the surface without altering dimensions or adding coating thickness. This screw is handled by maintenance technicians, assemblers, and trade professionals working on equipment panels, enclosures, and precision assemblies.

This screw is suited for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosure panels, instrument housings, and equipment mounting applications where a flush fastener is required. The 6-32 thread size is common in electronic and electrical equipment, HVAC control boards, panel covers, and junction box assemblies. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moderate moisture or corrosion exposure. This item is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it suitable for stocking in maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) inventory.

Compatibility

Designed as a specification-compliant replacement or stock fastener for any assembly requiring a 6-32 flat head Phillips machine screw per the MS24693 standard, including electrical enclosures, control panels, and light mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a Phillips screwdriver or power driver set to appropriate torque to avoid stripping the 6-32 thread. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to 6-32 UNC before driving. When installing in electrical enclosures or control panels, de-energize all circuits before beginning fastener work in accordance with applicable NFPA 70 lockout/tagout procedures. Do not overtighten, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling when driven without lubrication into stainless tapped holes.
