Value Collection MSPX02516-050BX M2.5x0.45 Pan Head Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSPX02516-050BX is a pan head, slotted drive machine screw manufactured from grade 18-8 A2 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The screw follows the DIN 85 fastener standard and features an M2.5x0.45 thread with a 16 mm length measured under the head. The pan head profile provides a low, rounded top surface with a flat bearing face, making it suitable for general mechanical fastening where a flush or countersunk head is not required. This box contains 50 screws and is sized for applications that call for small-diameter metric hardware in corrosion-resistant stainless steel.

This screw is used in light mechanical assemblies, enclosure hardware, instrument panels, and equipment where metric fasteners and corrosion resistance are specified. The M2.5 thread diameter is common in electronics, HVAC control boards, panel mounting, and small appliance assembly. The slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade screwdrivers. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments where moisture or mild corrosive conditions are a concern.

• Sold in a box of 50 — suitable for service stock or single-job quantities

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application calling for an M2.5x0.45 pan head slotted machine screw conforming to DIN 85 in grade 18-8 A2 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to match the slotted head to avoid cam-out or head damage. Verify that the mating thread or nut is also M2.5x0.45 before installation. Do not over-torque small-diameter stainless screws, as galling between stainless mating surfaces can seize the fastener permanently. Use an appropriate thread lubricant or anti-seize compound when mating stainless to stainless threads.
