Value Collection MS24693-S29 Flat Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS24693-S29 is a 6-32 flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured to the MS24693 fastener standard. Built from Grade 3 steel with a yellow cadmium finish, this screw provides corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. It measures 5/8 inches in overall length with a full 5/8 inches of usable thread length under the head. The flat head profile seats flush with or below the mating surface, making it well suited for assemblies where a low-profile fastener is required. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors use this screw type across panel, bracket, and equipment enclosure applications.

This fastener is appropriate for light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, control panel mounting, and general-purpose equipment fastening where a 6-32 thread form is specified. The MS24693 standard designation indicates conformance to a military-derived fastener specification, making these screws common in both commercial equipment builds and maintenance-repair-operations (MRO) work. The yellow cadmium plating provides a measure of corrosion and galvanic protection suited to indoor and controlled-environment installations.

Key Features

• 6-32 thread size with 5/8 inches overall length for standard light-duty fastening applications
• Flat head profile allows flush or countersunk installation without protruding above the mating surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard hand and power screwdrivers
• Grade 3 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for panel and enclosure work
• Yellow cadmium finish offers corrosion resistance in controlled indoor environments
• Conforms to the MS24693 fastener standard for consistent dimensional and mechanical performance

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or OEM-style fastener for any application specifying a 6-32 x 5/8 inches flat head Phillips machine screw per the MS24693 standard, including electrical panels, control enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or Phillips-tip power driver sized for a No. 2 bit; using an undersized bit risks cam-out and head damage. Ensure the mating material is tapped or pre-threaded to 6-32 before driving. De-energize all electrical equipment before installing fasteners in or near live panels in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Do not overtighten — snug to seat is sufficient for most panel and enclosure applications using this thread size.
