Value Collection MSPX03014-050BX M3x0.5 Pan Head Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSPX03014-050BX is a metric machine screw with a pan head and slotted drive, manufactured from Grade 18-8 (A2) stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The fastener follows DIN 85 standard, which defines pan head geometry and dimensional tolerances for slotted metric screws. Thread size is M3x0.5 with a length under head of 14 mm. The 18-8 stainless construction provides solid corrosion resistance in general-purpose applications. This box contains 50 screws and is suited for assembly technicians, maintenance personnel, and trade professionals who need metric fasteners in quantity.

This screw is appropriate for light mechanical assemblies, panel mounting, enclosure fabrication, and equipment maintenance tasks where a metric M3 fastener is specified. The slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade screwdrivers, making it accessible in field service scenarios where specialized bit sets may not be present. The uncoated stainless finish suits both indoor and moderately corrosive environments.

Key Features

• M3x0.5 thread, 14 mm length under head
• Grade 18-8 A2 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to flake or chip
• Metric dimensioning throughout — no inch conversion required
• Sold in a box of 50 for volume assembly and service use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose DIN 85 metric machine screw for use in any application requiring an M3x0.5 pan head slotted fastener; verify thread engagement depth and material compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-blade screwdriver sized to match the M3 slotted head recess — an undersized blade risks cam-out and slot damage. Confirm mating thread is tapped to M3x0.5 specification before driving. Do not exceed the torque capacity appropriate for M3 stainless fasteners, as over-torquing can cause galling in stainless-to-stainless applications; applying a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads helps prevent galling. Inspect threads on both fastener and mating part for contamination or damage before assembly.
