Value Collection MS35206-260 Machine Screw 10-24 X 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS35206-260 is a 10-24 pan head Phillips drive machine screw built to MIL-SPEC standard MS35206. It measures 5/16 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from steel with a yellow cadmium finish for corrosion resistance. Rated Material Grade 3, this screw is a standard fastener used across electrical, HVAC, and general mechanical assemblies where a compact, reliable threaded fastener is required. Installation is performed without a washer, and the inch-system threading conforms to the unified coarse (UNC) standard. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals keep this screw on hand for panel assembly, equipment enclosures, and component mounting.

This screw is suited for use in light to medium-duty mechanical and electrical assemblies. Its pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface with good resistance to cam-out when driven with a Phillips bit. The yellow cadmium finish offers a degree of corrosion and oxidation protection appropriate for indoor and controlled-environment applications. The MS35206 fastener standard indicates military specification origin, making this screw a common choice in aerospace-adjacent, defense, and commercial equipment maintenance contexts where standardized hardware is required.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread size for use with standard tapped holes and hex nuts
• 5/16 inches length under head for shallow clearance applications
• Pan head geometry provides a wide bearing surface and low profile
• Phillips drive for compatibility with standard and impact-ready bits
• Yellow cadmium finish delivers corrosion resistance for controlled-environment use
• Conforms to MIL-SPEC MS35206 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for any assembly requiring a 10-24 UNC pan head Phillips machine screw with a 5/16-inch length under head, conforming to the MS35206 military specification standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-starting the screw into a pre-tapped or nut-fitted 10-24 threaded hole, then driving with a Phillips screwdriver or appropriate power driver bit. Avoid over-torquing, which can strip the threads or deform the pan head seating surface on softer base materials. Cadmium-finished fasteners should be handled with appropriate precautions per shop safety guidelines, as cadmium compounds are regulated under OSHA and EPA standards.
