Value Collection MSFX05010-050BX M5x0.8 Flat Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSFX05010-050BX is a metric flat head slotted machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It carries an M5x0.8 thread and an overall length of 10 mm, conforming to DIN 963 dimensional standards. The flat head countersinks flush with the mating surface, making it well-suited for assemblies where a smooth, low-profile finish is required. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working in corrosion-sensitive environments select 18-8 stainless for its resistance to oxidation and mild chemical exposure. This SKU ships in a box quantity of 50 pieces and is ordered in multiples of 50.

This screw is used in light mechanical assemblies, enclosure fabrication, equipment panels, and general industrial fastening where a metric M5 thread and flush-mount head are specified. The DIN 963 standard ensures dimensional interchangeability with other compliant hardware across metric-based designs. Typical applications include machine guards, junction boxes, and instrument panels in both commercial and light industrial settings. Installation does not require specialty tooling beyond a standard flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit.

Key Features

• M5x0.8 thread conforms to DIN 963 for metric dimensional interchangeability
• Flat head countersinks flush with the mating surface for a low-profile finish
• 18-8 stainless steel (Grade A2) provides corrosion resistance in damp or mildly corrosive environments
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains tight dimensional tolerances and allows visual inspection of the fastener condition
• Box of 50 pieces supports production and service inventory needs
• Overall length and length under head are both 10 mm, measured per DIN 963 overall-length convention

Compatibility

Designed for use in any assembly specifying an M5x0.8 flat head slotted machine screw per DIN 963. Compatible with standard M5 tapped holes and threaded inserts in metal, plastic, or composite panels.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit sized to the M5 head. For countersunk applications, verify that the receiving material is pre-drilled and countersunk to the correct DIN 963 included angle before driving the screw. Do not overtorque stainless fasteners, as galling can occur without proper lubrication or anti-seize compound on the threads. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening hardware to electrical enclosures or panels.
