Value Collection MS51958-70 Pan Head Machine Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS51958-70 is a 10-32 pan head machine screw with a Phillips drive, manufactured to the MS51958 fastener standard. Built from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw delivers solid corrosion resistance for general-purpose mechanical assembly applications. The thread size is #10-32 unified fine thread, and the length under head measures 1-3/4 inches. It ships in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package. Electricians, HVAC technicians, machinists, and maintenance tradespeople commonly use this fastener when assembling equipment panels, electrical enclosures, or mechanical components that require a reliable, corrosion-resistant threaded fastener.

This screw is suited for use in light industrial, commercial, and residential trade applications where #10-32 unified fine thread fasteners are specified. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface and works with standard Phillips screwdrivers or bits. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for indoor and mildly corrosive environments. Applications include panel assembly, equipment mounting, and general machine assembly where a non-magnetic or corrosion-resistant fastener is preferred over zinc-plated steel alternatives.

Key Features

• 10-32 unified fine thread for precise engagement in tapped holes
• 1-3/4 inch length under head for adequate grip range in standard assemblies
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a broad bearing surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard bits and power drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without coating
• Meets MS51958 military fastener standard for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a standard #10-32 pan head Phillips machine screw conforming to the MS51958 fastener standard, suitable for any application specifying that thread size, head type, and drive style in inch-system assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or bit sized to the fastener head to avoid cam-out and head damage. Verify that the mating tapped hole or nut is also #10-32 before assembly. When installing in electrical enclosures or equipment panels, de-energize all circuits and follow applicable NEC guidelines before beginning work. Do not exceed the torque appropriate for the material being fastened, and avoid mixing stainless fasteners with dissimilar metals in environments where galvanic corrosion is a concern.
