Value Collection MS35206-280 Machine Screw 1/4-20 X 5/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS35206-280 is a 1/4-20 pan head machine screw with a Phillips drive, manufactured from steel with a yellow cadmium finish. It measures 5/8 inches in length under the head and meets Fastener Standard MS35206, Material Grade 3. This screw is a standard inch-system fastener used across a wide range of mechanical and electrical assembly applications. Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, electricians, HVAC service personnel, and general mechanical trades wherever a corrosion-resistant, cadmium-plated steel fastener is specified to military or commercial standards.

This screw is suited for light-duty fastening in panel assemblies, enclosure mounting, equipment housings, and general mechanical assemblies requiring a 1/4-20 thread with a low-profile pan head. The yellow cadmium finish provides corrosion resistance in environments where bare steel fasteners are not acceptable. It is an appropriate choice when MS35206-series hardware is called out on engineering drawings or bill-of-materials documentation.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 thread size, inch-system measurement standard
• 5/8 inches length under head for precise stack-up control
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard hand and power tools
• Yellow cadmium finish provides corrosion resistance per MS35206 specification
• Material Grade 3 steel construction meets MS35206 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as an MS35206-standard replacement or spec-call fastener for applications requiring a 1/4-20 pan head Phillips machine screw with yellow cadmium finish and Grade 3 steel construction. Verify thread engagement depth and material compatibility with the mating component before installation.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or appropriate power driver bit. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped or fitted with the correct thread insert before driving. Do not overtighten, as pan head fasteners have limited bearing surface area relative to flange or hex head designs. When replacing hardware in electrical enclosures, de-energize the equipment and follow applicable NEC lockout/tagout procedures before beginning work.
