Value Collection MSFX01605-100BX M1.6x0.35 Flat Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSFX01605-100BX is a metric flat head slotted machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Conforming to DIN 963, this screw features an M1.6x0.35 thread size and a 5 mm overall length. The countersunk flat head profile allows the fastener to sit flush with or below the surface of the mated material when installed in a properly prepared countersunk hole. This box contains 100 screws, making it appropriate for production assembly, maintenance shops, and field service kits where small-diameter metric fasteners are routinely consumed.

This screw is suited for light-duty fastening applications in residential and commercial equipment where small metric hardware is required. Typical uses include panel assembly, instrument enclosures, terminal blocks, and other precision or low-load connections found in HVAC controls, electrical enclosures, and plumbing equipment. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making this fastener viable in environments with moderate moisture exposure. Installation requires a flat-blade screwdriver matched to the slotted drive size appropriate for M1.6 hardware.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose DIN 963 metric flat head slotted machine screw for M1.6x0.35 threaded applications in light-duty assemblies and equipment panels.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver properly sized for the M1.6 slotted drive to avoid cam-out and head damage. The mating component must have a countersunk hole dimensioned for DIN 963 flat head geometry to achieve a flush seating surface. De-energize all electrical equipment and follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer lockout procedures before disassembling panels or enclosures to access fastener locations. Do not overtighten; small-diameter stainless steel screws are susceptible to galling and thread shear when excessive torque is applied.
