Value Collection MSOXX05020-050BX M5x0.8 Oval Slotted Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSOXX05020-050BX is an M5x0.8 oval head slotted machine screw manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Conforming to DIN 964, this fastener features a countersunk oval head profile that sits flush and slightly proud of the mating surface for a finished appearance. The overall length is 20 millimeters with a 20-millimeter length under the head. At 0.0071 pounds per unit, these screws are sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces. They are suited for applications requiring corrosion resistance in wet, marine, or chemical environments.

These DIN 964 oval head slotted machine screws are used in light-duty mechanical assemblies, panel fastening, and equipment enclosures where a low-profile countersunk head is required. The metric M5x0.8 thread pitch makes them compatible with standard metric tapped holes and threaded inserts. Grade 316 stainless steel provides superior resistance to chlorides and oxidizing agents compared to Grade 304, making these screws a common choice in marine hardware, food-service equipment, and outdoor electrical enclosures.

Key Features

• DIN 964 standard oval head slotted drive for countersunk applications
• Grade 316 (A4) stainless steel construction for high corrosion resistance
• M5x0.8 metric thread with 20-millimeter overall length
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to crack, chip, or add dimensional variance
• Sold in boxes of 50 for job-lot and maintenance stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 964 metric machine screw for use in any M5x0.8 tapped hole or metric threaded insert requiring an oval countersunk head profile.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard flat-blade screwdriver sized to the M5 slotted head. The mating workpiece should be pre-drilled and countersunk to the appropriate DIN 964 angle before driving. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel fasteners, as the material is susceptible to galling — apply an anti-seize compound to the threads when installing into stainless or aluminum tapped holes. Ensure the countersink geometry of the receiving material matches the DIN 964 head angle for proper seating.
