Value Collection MSPX02508-050BX M2.5x0.45 Pan Head Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSPX02508-050BX is a metric pan head machine screw with a slotted drive, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel to DIN 85 standards. The M2.5x0.45 thread pitch and 8 mm length under head make this fastener well suited to light mechanical assemblies, instrumentation panels, and enclosure hardware. The bright, uncoated finish preserves the natural corrosion resistance of 18-8 (A2) stainless without added plating. These screws ship in a minimum-order box of 50 pieces, making them practical for service kits, small production runs, or stocking a van inventory.

Pan head slotted machine screws in the M2.5 size range are commonly used in electrical enclosures, control panels, small appliances, and HVAC accessory hardware where a low-profile head and standard slotted drive are required. The DIN 85 fastener standard ensures dimensional consistency across replacement and production applications. Installation does not require specialty tooling beyond a standard flat-blade screwdriver sized for M2.5 hardware.

Key Features

• M2.5x0.45 metric thread, 8 mm length under head per DIN 85 standard
• Pan head profile with slotted drive for flat-blade screwdriver installation
• 18-8 (A2) stainless steel construction for inherent corrosion resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to chip, flake, or add dimensional variation
• Sold in a box of 50 pieces to support stocking and small-batch production

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 85-standard M2.5x0.45 pan head machine screw suitable for metric-threaded applications in electrical, HVAC, and light mechanical assemblies requiring an 18-8 stainless fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver matched to the slotted head recess width on M2.5 hardware. Verify that the mating thread is tapped or formed to M2.5x0.45 before driving to avoid cross-threading. In stainless-to-stainless assemblies, apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to reduce the risk of galling. Do not exceed the clamp load appropriate for M2.5 stainless fasteners, as overtorquing can shear the head or damage fine threads.
