Value Collection MSFXX01616-050BX M1.6x0.35 Flat Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSFXX01616-050BX is a metric flat head slotted machine screw manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel to DIN 963 standards. The screw features an M1.6x0.35 thread with a 16.00 mm overall length and is supplied in a bright, uncoated finish that preserves the native corrosion resistance of 316 stainless. At this thread size, the fastener is suited for precision assembly work where a flush-seating countersunk head is required. Minimum order quantity is 50 pieces per transaction, making this appropriate for production runs or service kits requiring small-diameter metric hardware.

This fastener is used in light mechanical assemblies, instrumentation enclosures, and precision equipment where metric thread standards and corrosion resistance are critical requirements. The flat head profile seats flush with the mating surface, eliminating protrusion in tight clearance applications. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and is common in environments where Phillips or Torx tooling is not practical. Technicians working in marine, chemical processing, food service, or outdoor electrical enclosure applications routinely specify Grade 316 stainless for its enhanced resistance to chloride environments compared to Grade 304.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction provides superior chloride and corrosion resistance
• M1.6x0.35 metric thread conforms to DIN 963 fastener standard
• Flat countersunk head seats flush with mating surface for low-profile installations
• Slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and does not add coating thickness to thread tolerances
• Sold in minimum quantities of 50 pieces, suitable for production and batch service work

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a DIN 963 metric flat head slotted machine screw with an M1.6x0.35 thread pitch and 16.00 mm overall length in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation of small-diameter metric machine screws should be performed with a correctly sized flat-blade screwdriver to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure the mating thread or insert is tapped to M1.6x0.35 before installation. Do not over-torque fasteners at this diameter, as M1.6 screws have low torque thresholds and are susceptible to thread stripping. When installing in stainless-to-stainless assemblies, apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to prevent galling.
