Value Collection MS51958-68B 10-32 Pan Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS51958-68B is a 10-32 x 1.25-inch pan head machine screw with a Phillips drive, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a black oxide finish. The 10-32 thread designation indicates a number 10 major diameter with 32 threads per inch, making this a fine-thread fastener suited for close-tolerance assemblies. Measurement is taken length under head. The black oxide coating provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in finished assemblies. This fastener conforms to the MS51958 military fastener standard. Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, electricians, HVAC service techs, and general mechanical trades working in light to medium-duty fastening applications.

This screw is used in residential and commercial equipment assemblies where a compact pan head profile and Phillips drive access are required. Typical applications include panel mounting, enclosure assembly, electrical equipment fastening, and general mechanical fabrication. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it suitable for environments where mild corrosion resistance is needed. The black oxide finish adds a uniform dark appearance appropriate for control panels and instrumentation enclosures. This item is sold individually; the minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips No. 2 screwdriver or bit. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening into panels or enclosures. Do not overtorque stainless steel fasteners, as the material is susceptible to galling; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when threading into stainless steel mating hardware. Verify thread engagement depth and mating thread condition before installation.
