Value Collection MSCXX03016-050BX M3x0.5 Fillister Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSCXX03016-050BX is a metric machine screw with a fillister head and slotted drive, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel to DIN 84 standards. The fillister head profile features a smaller diameter and greater height than a pan head, making it well suited for counterbored holes and applications where the fastener must seat in a recessed pocket. Grade 316 stainless steel provides strong corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride-rich and marine environments. The thread size is M3x0.5 with a length under head of 16 millimeters. This fastener is sold in minimum quantities of 50 per order and is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assembly professionals.

This screw is used in light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, instrumentation panels, and marine or coastal equipment where corrosion resistance is required. The M3x0.5 metric thread pitch is common in precision assemblies, small equipment housings, and component mounting applications. The bright, uncoated finish leaves the natural stainless steel surface exposed, which is appropriate where coatings would affect dimensional tolerances or where chemical compatibility with coatings is a concern.

Key Features

• Fillister head profile with slotted drive for use in counterbored or recessed hole applications
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh and marine environments
• M3x0.5 metric thread, 16 millimeters length under head, conforming to DIN 84 standard
• Bright, uncoated finish preserves dimensional accuracy and natural stainless surface
• Sold in packs of 50, suitable for production assembly and maintenance stock

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 84 standard metric fastener for M3x0.5 threaded holes in mechanical assemblies, enclosures, and equipment requiring Grade 316 stainless steel hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a standard flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit sized to the M3 head. Ensure mating threaded holes are clean and free of debris before driving. Avoid overtightening stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur without proper lubrication or anti-seize compound on the threads. Power down any electrical equipment before installing fasteners in or near live panels.
