Value Collection MS35206-242 Machine Screw 8-32 5/16in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS35206-242 is a pan head, Phillips-drive machine screw manufactured to the MS35206 military fastener standard. Threaded 8-32 with a 5/16-inch length under head, this screw is made from steel with a yellow cadmium finish that provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments. It meets Material Grade 3 requirements, making it suitable for general-purpose mechanical and structural fastening tasks. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals commonly use this fastener when assembling or servicing equipment panels, enclosures, and control boxes.

This screw is applicable across a broad range of trade and industrial settings, including electrical panel assembly, HVAC cabinet fabrication, and general equipment maintenance. The 8-32 thread is a standard coarse-series designation widely used in light-gauge steel, aluminum, and thermoplastic components. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface suitable for flush-mount and countersink-free applications. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard #2 Phillips bits and manual screwdrivers. This item is sold in multiples of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 8-32 thread size for compatibility with standard coarse-series tapped holes
• 5/16-inch length under head for consistent depth in light-gauge assemblies
• Pan head profile provides a broad bearing surface without countersinking
• Phillips drive works with standard #2 Phillips bits and hand tools
• Yellow cadmium finish offers corrosion resistance in industrial environments
• Manufactured to MS35206 military fastener standard for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use machine screw for equipment panels, enclosures, and assemblies that specify 8-32 pan head Phillips fasteners per the MS35206 standard.

Installation Notes

Install using a #2 Phillips screwdriver or bit driver set to appropriate torque for the mating material to avoid stripping the pan head. De-energize all electrical equipment and follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer lockout-tagout procedures before accessing panels or enclosures. Verify that the mating tapped hole or nut is clean and free of debris before threading. Do not use impact drivers on small-diameter machine screws, as over-torquing can shear the fastener or damage the thread.
