Value Collection MS24693-S17 Flat Head Machine Screw 2-56

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS24693-S17 is a flat head Phillips drive machine screw manufactured to the MS24693 military fastener standard. It features a No. 2-56 unified coarse thread and a 5/32-inch overall length, making it suited for compact, low-clearance fastening applications. The screw is produced from steel with a yellow cadmium finish that provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Material Grade 3 construction meets the strength and dimensional requirements of the applicable military specification. This fastener is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, electricians, and aerospace or industrial assembly workers.

This screw is used in applications requiring a flush or countersunk seating surface, where the flat head design sits flush with or below the mating material. The No. 2-56 thread size is common in precision assemblies, control enclosures, small electronic housings, and instrument panels. The yellow cadmium coating makes it appropriate for environments where mild corrosion resistance is required alongside metallic conductivity. It is sold in multiples of 100 units minimum order quantity, with a package quantity of 1.

Key Features

• Grade 3 material meets applicable strength classification for this fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for assemblies calling out the MS24693 specification in No. 2-56 thread size and 5/32-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

This screw is installed using a Phillips screwdriver or bit sized for a No. 2 drive. De-energize and lock out any assembly before replacing fasteners in electrical or control enclosures per applicable NFPA 70 (NEC) procedures. Avoid overtightening in tapped blind holes to prevent thread stripping in the mating material. Ensure the mating hole is properly countersunk to the correct angle to achieve full flat-head seating.
