Value Collection MSCXX02516-100BX M2.5x0.45 Machine Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCXX02516-100BX is a metric machine screw with a fillister head and slotted drive, sold in a box of 100. It is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, conforming to DIN 84 standards. The M2.5x0.45 thread and 16 mm length under head make this screw suited for precision fastening applications where corrosion resistance and a close-tolerance head profile are required. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working with electrical enclosures, instrumentation panels, HVAC equipment housings, and similar assemblies commonly install these fasteners.

This screw is appropriate for light-duty metric fastening in both indoor and outdoor environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or marine conditions demands a corrosion-resistant alloy. The fillister head profile offers a deeper slot engagement compared to a flat or pan head, reducing driver cam-out under torque. Typical applications include securing panel covers, equipment nameplates, terminal blocks, and small-gauge sheet metal assemblies in commercial and residential trade work.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and chemical resistance
• Fillister head profile provides deep slotted engagement and a low, compact bearing surface
• Conforms to DIN 84 fastener standard for dimensional consistency
• Bright uncoated finish maintains base alloy properties without added plating
• M2.5x0.45 thread pitch for use in standard metric tapped holes
• Sold in a box of 100 to support job-site and shop stocking needs

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 84-compliant metric machine screw for use in any M2.5x0.45 tapped hole or mating hex nut application requiring a fillister head profile and slotted drive.

Installation Notes

Install with an appropriately sized flat-blade screwdriver matched to the slot width to avoid burring the drive recess. Verify the mating thread is clean and free of debris before engaging the fastener. When installing stainless steel fasteners into stainless steel tapped holes, apply an anti-seize compound to reduce the risk of galling. Follow applicable mechanical or electrical codes for fastener torque class and material compatibility in the specific assembly.
