Value Collection MS35206-246 Machine Screw 8-32 5/8in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS35206-246 is a pan head, Phillips-drive machine screw manufactured to MS35206 fastener standard specifications. It features a number 8-32 unified coarse thread and a 5/8-inch length measured under the head. The screw is made from steel with a yellow cadmium finish, which provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Material Grade 3 indicates a mid-range steel specification appropriate for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. These screws are installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general maintenance trades wherever a standardized, reusable threaded fastener is required.

This screw is suited for light-to-medium duty fastening in electrical enclosures, control panels, HVAC equipment covers, and sheet metal assemblies. The pan head profile offers a low-profile bearing surface with good torque retention. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power and hand drivers. The yellow cadmium finish meets military fastener standard MS35206, making this screw appropriate for applications requiring that specification, including aerospace-adjacent and defense maintenance work.

Key Features

• 8-32 unified coarse thread for reliable engagement in standard tapped holes
• 5/8-inch length under head for precise stack-up control
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a broad bearing surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard hand and power tools
• Yellow cadmium finish provides corrosion resistance and meets MS35206 military standard
• Steel construction, Material Grade 3, for general mechanical fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a drop-in replacement or serviceable fastener wherever an MS35206 standard 8-32 pan head Phillips machine screw is specified. Compatible with any pre-tapped or nut-threaded 8-32 hole without washer.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized tools beyond a standard Phillips screwdriver or compatible power driver bit. Ensure the mating hole is clean and properly tapped to 8-32 specification before driving. Do not overtighten, as cadmium-plated fasteners in softer base materials can strip threads if torque is not controlled. Relevant fastener installation practices should follow the applicable equipment service manual or governing standard.
