Value Collection MS24693-C94 Flat Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS24693-C94 is a flat head Phillips drive machine screw conforming to the MS24693 fastener standard. It features a 1/4-20 unified coarse thread and an overall length of 0.5 inches, measured from the tip to the top of the head. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish, this screw resists corrosion in moderate service environments. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when properly countersunk, making it well suited for applications where a smooth, unobstructed face is required. Maintenance technicians and assembly personnel working on HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, and panel hardware are the typical installers of this fastener type.

This screw is designed for use in light- to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where a flush-mount fastener is specified. The 1/4-20 thread size is one of the most common inch-series thread patterns across trade and industrial applications. The MS24693 military standard designation makes this fastener relevant in aerospace, defense, and precision equipment maintenance contexts as well as general trade service work. The passivated stainless steel construction performs well in damp or corrosive environments where carbon steel fasteners would be unsuitable.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 unified coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• 0.5 inch overall length with full 0.5 inch length under head, no grip reduction from head height
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without plating
• Passivated finish enhances surface oxide layer for additional corrosion protection
• Flat head countersunk profile seats flush with the work surface
• Conforms to MS24693 fastener standard for precision and aerospace-adjacent applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for any assembly specifying a 1/4-20 flat head Phillips machine screw per the MS24693 standard.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a correctly sized Phillips screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. A properly dimensioned countersink must be present in the mating material to allow the flat head to seat fully flush. Torque to the specification called out in the assembly drawing for the equipment being serviced. Always de-energize and lock out electrical equipment before replacing or tightening fasteners on live panels or enclosures.
