Value Collection MS51958-71 Pan Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS51958-71 is a 10-32 pan head machine screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical, electrical, and structural assemblies. With a 2-inch length under head and a Phillips drive, it delivers consistent torque transfer and a low-profile seating surface suited to close-tolerance installations. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a black oxide finish, this screw resists corrosion in moderate-moisture environments while the finish reduces light reflection and provides mild surface protection. It conforms to the MS51958 fastener standard, making it appropriate for aerospace-influenced, military-spec, and industrial applications where dimensional compliance is required.

This screw is used across a wide range of commercial and industrial assembly tasks, including panel mounting, equipment enclosures, electrical junction boxes, HVAC control board brackets, and general sheet metal or machined-part fastening. The pan head profile distributes clamping load broadly and seats flush against flat or slightly curved surfaces. Installation is performed by licensed tradespeople, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working with standard Phillips screwdrivers or power drivers. The 10-32 thread designation is common in fine-thread applications where vibration resistance and holding strength in thin materials are priorities.

Key Features

• 10-32 thread size for fine-pitch, vibration-resistant fastening in thin or precision materials
• 2-inch length under head accommodates moderate material stack depths
• Pan head geometry provides broad clamping surface and flush seating
• Phillips drive compatible with standard hand and power drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in moderate-moisture environments
• Black oxide finish reduces reflectivity and adds mild surface protection
• Conforms to MS51958 fastener standard for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for any 10-32 threaded application requiring a pan head Phillips screw with 2-inch length under head per the MS51958 standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tradespeople or assembly technicians using a Phillips screwdriver or appropriately sized power driver with torque control. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure or equipment before installing or removing fasteners in live assemblies. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the 10-32 thread in softer base materials. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling during installation — applying an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads is recommended when fastening into stainless or aluminum threaded holes.
