Value Collection MS51958-58 Pan Head Machine Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS51958-58 is a 10-32 pan head Phillips drive machine screw conforming to the MS51958 fastener standard. It measures 3/16 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a black oxide finish. The black oxide treatment provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection on exposed hardware. This screw is a compact, fine-thread fastener suited for use in electrical panels, enclosures, instrumentation, and light mechanical assemblies where a low-profile pan head and positive Phillips drive engagement are required. Installation is performed by general maintenance technicians, electricians, and mechanical assemblers working in both field and shop environments.

The 10-32 thread designation indicates a No. 10 diameter with 32 threads per inch, a Unified Fine (UNF) thread commonly specified in electrical and electronic enclosures, switchgear, and control panel assemblies. The short 3/16-inch under-head length makes this screw appropriate for thin-stock applications where thread engagement depth is limited. It ships with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package, making it suitable for stocking and bulk assembly work.

Key Features

• 10-32 Unified Fine thread for secure engagement in thin materials and tapped metal enclosures
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface than flat or oval head styles
• Phillips drive compatible with standard screwdrivers and power drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in moderate-exposure environments
• Black oxide finish reduces reflectivity and provides light surface protection
• Conforms to MS51958 fastener standard for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a standard MS51958-specification replacement fastener for 10-32 tapped holes requiring a pan head Phillips drive screw with a 3/16-inch length under head in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a Phillips screwdriver or power driver set to an appropriate torque setting for the mating material. Ensure the tapped receiving hole is clean and free of debris before threading. When installing into aluminum or other soft materials, avoid over-driving to prevent thread stripping. Follow applicable assembly standards and any relevant electrical or mechanical codes for the specific enclosure or panel type being serviced.
