Value Collection MS35206-205 Machine Screw 2-56 X 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS35206-205 is a 2-56 pan head Phillips drive machine screw built to Military Standard MS35206. It measures 3/8 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from steel with a yellow cadmium finish for corrosion resistance. Rated Grade 3, this screw is suited for general-purpose fastening applications in aerospace, military, and industrial assembly work where standardized hardware is specified. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface, and the Phillips drive allows for efficient installation with standard tooling. Sold in multiples of 100 units per order.

This screw is commonly used in light-duty mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, panel mounting, and instrument or avionics applications that call for MS-standard fasteners. The 2-56 thread size is one of the finer unified thread pitches, making it appropriate for small-component assembly where precise thread engagement and minimal clearance are required. Technicians in aerospace maintenance, military depot repair, and industrial manufacturing will encounter this part number in hardware kits and BOM-specified fastener lists.

Key Features

• MS35206 military standard compliance for controlled-specification fastener applications
• 2-56 unified coarse thread for fine-pitch small-component fastening
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 1 Phillips screwdrivers and bits
• Yellow cadmium finish provides corrosion resistance and meets military finish requirements
• Steel construction with Grade 3 material rating

Compatibility

Designed as an MS35206-standard replacement or specification-compliant fastener for assemblies requiring a 2-56 x 3/8-inch pan head Phillips machine screw per military and aerospace hardware standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver or compatible power bit at controlled torque. Always verify thread engagement and avoid cross-threading in tapped holes or threaded inserts. In aerospace or military applications, consult the applicable maintenance manual or engineering order for torque limits and locking requirements. Cadmium-plated fasteners should be handled in accordance with applicable workplace safety and disposal regulations.
