Value Collection MS35206-201 Pan Head Machine Screw 2-56

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS35206-201 is a 2-56 pan head machine screw with a Phillips drive, manufactured from steel with a yellow cadmium finish. It conforms to the MS35206 fastener standard and carries a Grade 3 material designation. The screw measures 1/8 inch in length under the head and is supplied without a washer. This fastener is intended for use by maintenance technicians, assembly workers, and trade professionals who require a mil-spec-compatible threaded fastener in small-diameter applications. The yellow cadmium coating provides corrosion resistance in environments where bare steel would be inadequate.

This screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, panel mounting, and equipment maintenance applications where a 2-56 thread pitch is specified. The pan head profile distributes clamping load across a broad bearing surface and accommodates close-clearance installations where a flat or oval head is not appropriate. It is commonly used in avionics, defense, and industrial equipment servicing, as well as HVAC control board and electrical panel work requiring small-format fasteners that meet military specification MS35206.

Key Features

• Conforms to MS35206 military fastener standard for controlled thread and dimensional tolerances
• 2-56 unified coarse thread for reliable engagement in small tapped holes
• Phillips drive allows installation with standard screwdrivers or power tools
• Pan head geometry provides a wide bearing surface without countersinking
• Yellow cadmium finish offers corrosion and oxidation resistance
• Grade 3 steel construction meets strength requirements for light mechanical fastening

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for assemblies specifying MS35206-201 or a 2-56 x 1/8 inch pan head Phillips machine screw per the MS35206 fastener standard.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips No. 0 screwdriver or appropriately sized power driver bit to avoid cam-out on the small-diameter head. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is free of debris and properly aligned before driving the fastener. Do not overtighten, as small-diameter machine screws are susceptible to thread stripping in soft base materials. Follow applicable assembly drawings or torque specifications provided by the equipment manufacturer.
