Value Collection MSFX03008-050BX M3x0.5 Flat Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSFX03008-050BX is a metric machine screw with a flat head and slotted drive, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel (Grade A2) with a bright, uncoated finish. The M3x0.5 thread and 8 mm overall length make this a compact, corrosion-resistant fastener suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, panels, and enclosures. Conforming to DIN 963, this screw delivers predictable dimensional consistency for production and repair work. This listing covers a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per package, making it practical for bench stock and job lot replenishment.

This screw is appropriate for residential and commercial applications wherever a flush, low-profile head is needed in a metric-threaded assembly. Typical uses include electrical enclosure panels, HVAC control board mounting, instrument housings, and general mechanical assembly where a slotted drive is specified. The 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in mildly wet or humid environments without requiring additional coating or plating.

Compatibility

Designed for use in any M3x0.5 threaded application requiring a DIN 963 flat head slotted machine screw in 18-8 stainless steel with an 8 mm overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is appropriate for general mechanical and electrical trades using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head. De-energize any electrical equipment before driving fasteners into or near live assemblies, per NEC guidelines. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel fasteners into tapped holes, as galling can occur; apply an anti-seize compound if repeated removal is anticipated. Verify thread engagement depth meets the requirements of the mating material before final assembly.
