Value Collection MSFXX02012-050BX M2x0.4 Flat Head Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSFXX02012-050BX is a metric machine screw with a flat head and slotted drive, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It conforms to DIN 963, the standard for countersunk flat head slotted screws. The M2x0.4 thread size and 12 mm overall length make it well suited to precision fastening applications where a flush-mounted, corrosion-resistant fastener is required. Each box contains 50 screws. This fastener is typically installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, or assemblers working on light mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, or marine and wet-environment equipment where Grade 316 alloy provides enhanced resistance to chloride corrosion.

This screw is used in applications that call for a countersunk flat head profile, a slotted drive, and metric M2 threading. Grade 316 stainless steel is the material of choice in marine, food-service, chemical, and outdoor environments where standard 304 alloy would be insufficient. The DIN 963 standard ensures dimensional consistency for interchangeable use across metric assemblies. Typical installation scenarios include electronics enclosures, small mechanical panels, optical equipment, and marine hardware where a flush surface finish is needed after fastener installation.

Key Features

• M2x0.4 metric thread for use in precision and light-duty assemblies
• Flat countersunk head per DIN 963 provides a flush surface after seating
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Grade 316 (A4) stainless steel for superior chloride and corrosion resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to interfere with thread engagement or dimensional tolerances
• Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 per box

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 963-compliant M2x0.4 flat head slotted machine screw for use in any metric-threaded application requiring a Grade 316 stainless steel countersunk fastener with 12 mm overall length.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to match the M2 slotted head to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure the mating component is pre-tapped or fitted with the correct M2x0.4 nut or threaded insert before driving the screw. For marine or chemical environments, inspect threads for contamination before installation and apply an anti-seize compound appropriate for stainless steel if required. Do not exceed hand-tight torque values for M2 stainless fasteners, as Grade 316 alloy is susceptible to galling if over-torqued without lubrication.
