Value Collection MS24693-S47 Machine Screw 8-32 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS24693-S47 is a flat head Phillips drive machine screw built to MIL-spec standard MS24693. It features an 8-32 unified coarse thread and a 5/16-inch overall length. The screw is manufactured from Grade 3 steel and finished with a yellow cadmium coating that provides corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. This fastener is a standard choice for electricians, HVAC technicians, panel fabricators, and maintenance professionals who need a reliable mil-spec threaded fastener for metal assemblies, equipment enclosures, and structural hardware applications.

This machine screw is suited for light-duty metal fastening tasks in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Its flat head profile seats flush with the mating surface, making it appropriate for assemblies where a low-profile finish is required. The Phillips drive allows installation with common hand tools or power drivers. Typical applications include equipment cabinet assembly, electrical panel hardware, control box mounting, and general sheet metal or machined-surface fastening where an 8-32 thread form is specified.

Key Features

• MIL-spec MS24693 fastener standard for consistent dimensional compliance
• 8-32 unified coarse thread for reliable engagement in standard tapped holes
• Flat head design seats flush with the work surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard screwdrivers and power bits
• Yellow cadmium finish provides corrosion protection in service environments
• Grade 3 steel construction for consistent tensile performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit fastener for any assembly specifying an 8-32 flat head Phillips machine screw per the MS24693 mil-spec standard.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or compatible power driver bit sized for an 8-32 fastener. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to 8-32 before installation to avoid cross-threading. De-energize any electrical equipment before working inside enclosures or panels. Follow applicable NEC guidelines when installing fasteners in electrical assemblies.
