Value Collection MSPI0-400180-100B 5-40 Pan Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSPI0-400180-100B is a 5-40 UNC pan head machine screw designed for general fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, and light fabrication work. The screw features a slotted drive and is manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance. It measures 3/16 inches in length under the head and meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material grade standards. This fastener is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it suitable for production, maintenance, and repair operations where consistent supply of a standard size is needed.

This screw is appropriate for use in light-duty mechanical and electrical assembly where a #5-40 thread pitch is specified. Common applications include instrument panels, electronic enclosures, small appliance housings, and sheet metal work requiring a low-profile pan head. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver, a common tool across HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical trades. The compact 3/16-inch length suits thin-gauge materials where thread engagement depth is limited.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw for use in any application specifying a 5-40 UNC thread, pan head, slotted drive, and 3/16-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot width. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not overtighten, as the small thread diameter is susceptible to stripping in soft base materials. Follow applicable torque guidelines from the assembly specification or relevant industry standard for the thread size and material grade.
