Value Collection MS35206-206 Machine Screw 2-56 Pan Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS35206-206 is a 2-56 pan head machine screw manufactured to the MS35206 military fastener standard. It features a Phillips drive and measures 7/16 inches in length under the head. Constructed from Grade 3 steel with a yellow cadmium finish, this screw delivers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding assembly and maintenance applications. The pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider surface area than flat or oval head styles, making it a reliable choice in light-gauge sheet metal and electronic enclosure work. Electricians, panel fabricators, and equipment maintenance technicians commonly use this fastener when working on control enclosures, instrument panels, and precision assemblies.

This screw is suited for use in aerospace, military, and industrial maintenance applications where MS-standard fasteners are specified. The 2-56 thread is a fine-pitch coarse UNC designation standard for small-diameter machine screws used in tight tolerances and instrumentation hardware. The yellow cadmium finish provides a recognizable visual indicator of its protective coating, commonly required in military and government maintenance specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified technicians following applicable assembly standards and torque guidelines specified in the host equipment documentation. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastener installation or removal in electrical or electronic enclosures. Use a properly sized Phillips screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out and head damage on small-diameter screws. Do not cross-thread or over-torque; thread engagement depth should follow the host material specification.
