Value Collection MSPX02008-050BX M2x0.4 Pan Head Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSPX02008-050BX is a metric pan head machine screw with a slotted drive, sold in a box of 50. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel (Grade A2) with a bright, uncoated finish that resists corrosion in mild service environments. The M2x0.4 thread size and 8 mm length under head make this screw suited to precision assemblies, instrumentation panels, and light mechanical fixtures. It conforms to DIN 85, the standard governing pan head slotted screws in the metric system. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical tradespeople reach for this fastener when securing small components where a low-profile pan head and simple slotted drive are required.

This screw is used in residential and commercial trade applications wherever a small-diameter metric fastener is needed. Typical uses include securing control board covers, instrument housings, junction box hardware, and similar light-duty assemblies. The DIN 85 profile keeps the head close to the work surface, reducing clearance requirements in confined enclosures. The M2 thread pitch of 0.4 mm is standard for this diameter class and is compatible with tapped holes and threaded inserts meeting the same DIN specification.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use in any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to the M2x0.4 metric thread standard and dimensioned to accept a DIN 85 pan head profile.

Installation Notes

Use a correctly sized flat-blade screwdriver to avoid cam-out and slot damage on small M2 fasteners. Verify the receiving thread is clean and free of debris before driving. When installing stainless fasteners into stainless tapped holes, apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to prevent galling. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes for the assembly type being serviced.
