Value Collection MS35206-212 4-40 Pan Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS35206-212 is a 4-40 pan head machine screw with a Phillips drive, manufactured from steel with a yellow cadmium finish. It measures 3/16 inches in length under the head and conforms to the MS35206 fastener standard. Grade 3 construction ensures consistent dimensional accuracy and mechanical performance for general-purpose threaded fastener applications. This screw is installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, panel assemblers, and other trade professionals who work with light-gauge metal assemblies, junction boxes, and equipment enclosures requiring a small-diameter threaded fastener.

The MS35206-212 is suited for use in electrical panels, control enclosures, instrumentation housings, and mechanical assemblies where a 4-40 thread is specified. The pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface than a flat or oval head, making it appropriate for thin sheet metal and plastic substrates. The yellow cadmium finish provides corrosion resistance in service environments where moisture or mild chemical exposure is a factor. This part ships in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package.

Key Features

• 4-40 thread size for use in standard small-diameter tapped holes and threaded inserts
• Pan head profile provides broad bearing surface suitable for thin sheet metal and panel applications
• Phillips drive compatible with standard No. 1 Phillips screwdrivers and power drivers
• Yellow cadmium finish offers corrosion resistance for moderate service environments
• Meets MS35206 military fastener standard for consistent dimensional and material compliance
• Grade 3 steel construction for reliable mechanical performance in general-purpose fastening

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for assemblies specifying a 4-40 pan head Phillips machine screw per the MS35206 fastener standard.

Installation Notes

Install using a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver or a calibrated power driver set to an appropriate torque range for 4-40 fasteners in the mating material. De-energize and lock out all electrical equipment before performing fastener service inside control enclosures or panel assemblies, in accordance with NFPA 70E safe work practices. Verify thread engagement in the mating tapped hole or nut before applying torque to avoid cross-threading. Do not exceed the tensile capacity of the 4-40 thread by over-torquing.
