Value Collection MSCI0-200370-100BX Machine Screw 2-56

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCI0-200370-100BX is a 2-56 x 3/8 inches fillister head machine screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, and light-duty industrial applications. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw offers basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and protected environments. The fillister head profile provides a smaller diameter footprint than a pan head, making it well suited for countersunk or recessed hole applications where clearance is limited. Length is measured under the head at 3/8 inches.

This screw is commonly used by electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assemblers when fastening panels, terminal boards, small brackets, and instrument housings. The 2-56 UNC thread specification is a standard coarse-thread designation used widely in light-gauge steel and aluminum components. The zinc-plated steel construction is appropriate for dry or climate-controlled indoor installations. This SKU is sold as a package of 100 screws, making it practical for bench stock or small-project replenishment.

Key Features

• 2-56 UNC thread for compatibility with standard light-duty fastening applications
• 3/8 inches length measured under the head for accurate fit in designed clearances
• Fillister head profile keeps a low, narrow footprint in recessed or tight-clearance locations
• Slotted drive works with standard flat-blade screwdrivers — no specialty tools required
• Grade 2 steel with zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor use
• Sold in a 100-piece package for efficient bench stock replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 UNC fillister head machine screw suitable for use in electrical panels, instrument enclosures, terminal boards, and other light-duty mechanical assemblies that specify a 2-56 coarse-thread fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head. De-energize any electrical panel or assembly before installing or removing fasteners near live components. Avoid overtightening — Grade 2 steel has lower tensile strength than higher-grade alloys and is susceptible to thread stripping if torque is excessive. Follow applicable assembly drawings or OEM torque guidelines for the host equipment.
