Value Collection MS35206-285 Pan Head Machine Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS35206-285 is a 1/4-20 pan head machine screw with a Phillips drive, manufactured from steel with a yellow cadmium finish. It measures 1.5 inches in length under the head and meets Material Grade 3 requirements under the MS35206 fastener standard. This screw is a standard inch-system fastener used across a wide range of mechanical assemblies, panel mounting applications, and equipment enclosure work. It ships without a washer. Installers in HVAC, electrical, and general equipment service will recognize this as a common hardware specification for securing sheet metal panels, junction boxes, and light-duty structural components.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial trade applications where a corrosion-resistant, cadmium-plated steel fastener is required. The yellow cadmium finish provides a degree of protection in environments where mild corrosion resistance is needed. It is commonly used in equipment panel assemblies, control enclosures, and general-purpose mechanical fastening where the MS35206 military-spec standard is called out. The 1/4-20 thread pitch is one of the most widely encountered coarse-thread sizes in trade work, making this screw broadly applicable across multiple installation scenarios.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical trades using standard Phillips screwdrivers or bit drivers. Always de-energize equipment and follow lockout/tagout procedures before fastening or removing screws on any electrical enclosure or live panel. Do not overtighten into tapped sheet metal; use a torque-limiting driver where the application requires controlled clamp load. Verify thread engagement length is adequate for the base material being fastened.
