Value Collection MS51958-59 Pan Head Machine Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS51958-59 is a 10-32 pan head Phillips drive machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a black oxide finish. Measuring 0.25 inches in length under the head, this fastener meets the MS51958 military standard specification. The black oxide coating provides a degree of corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in finished assemblies. At 0.004 pounds per unit, this is a lightweight precision fastener suited for instrumentation panels, electrical enclosures, and mechanical assemblies where a flush-profile pan head and reliable Phillips drive are required. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

This screw is used in applications requiring a fine 10-32 thread pitch in metal, where consistent torque and head profile matter. Typical install scenarios include mounting circuit boards, enclosure panels, and light mechanical hardware in residential and commercial electrical, HVAC control, and instrumentation work. The pan head profile sits flat against the work surface without a countersink, making it well suited for thin sheet metal or plastic substrates.

Key Features

• Meets MS51958 military standard specification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 pan head Phillips machine screw for use in any application requiring the MS51958 fastener specification, including electrical enclosures, control panels, and mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician following applicable codes and manufacturer assembly guidelines. Always de-energize and lock out any electrical enclosure or control panel before installing or removing fasteners. Use a properly sized Phillips screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Do not over-torque stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur; apply a suitable anti-seize compound where thread galling is a concern.
