Value Collection MSOX05010-050BX M5x0.8 Oval Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSOX05010-050BX is an M5x0.8 oval head machine screw with a slotted drive, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The overall length is 10mm, and the length under the head is 10mm, conforming to DIN 964 standards. This fastener is suited for light- to medium-duty mechanical assembly where corrosion resistance and a low-profile countersunk head are required. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians install this type of screw in equipment panels, enclosures, and fixtures where the oval head sits flush or slightly proud of a countersunk surface. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.

This screw is a metric fastener appropriate for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. Typical use cases include electrical enclosure assembly, HVAC equipment panels, plumbing access covers, and general mechanical assemblies requiring a corrosion-resistant metric fastener. The M5x0.8 thread pitch and 10mm overall length make it a common size for thin-panel and sheet-metal applications. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bit drivers.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a metric oval head machine screw replacement for applications specifying an M5x0.8 thread, 10mm overall length, slotted drive, and DIN 964 geometry in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a correctly sized flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit to avoid cam-out and drive damage. Ensure the mating material is pre-drilled or tapped to M5x0.8 specification before driving. Do not over-torque stainless steel fasteners, as 18-8 alloy is susceptible to galling under excessive torque without lubrication. For installations in electrical enclosures, follow applicable NEC guidelines for fastener material and spacing.
