Value Collection MS35206-203 Pan Head Machine Screw 2-56

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS35206-203 is a pan head Phillips drive machine screw manufactured to MS35206 military fastener standards. Sized at 2-56 thread with a 1/4-inch length under head, this screw is made from steel with a yellow cadmium finish that provides corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. It meets Material Grade 3 specifications. This fastener is used by electricians, HVAC technicians, machinists, and maintenance professionals who require a standardized, mil-spec screw for panel assembly, equipment enclosures, and light-duty mechanical connections. The pan head profile offers a low-profile, wide bearing surface suited to thin-gauge sheet metal and plastic housings.

This screw is appropriate for residential and commercial applications wherever a 2-56 thread pitch and 1/4-inch under-head length is specified. Typical install scenarios include control panel assembly, electronic enclosures, HVAC equipment covers, and instrumentation mounting. The MS35206 fastener standard makes this screw a go-to choice for mil-spec compliant assemblies and OEM-style replacement work. It is sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces, making it suitable for service shops and facilities that keep standard fastener stock on hand.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed using a standard Phillips screwdriver or bit driver. Always ensure the mating thread in the receiving material matches the 2-56 thread pitch before installation to avoid cross-threading or stripped threads. Power down and de-energize any electrical enclosure or control panel before removing or replacing panel fasteners. Do not overtighten into plastic housings or thin sheet metal, as pan head screws in fine thread sizes are susceptible to thread pullout under excessive torque.
