Value Collection MSPX03016-050BX M3x0.5 Pan Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSPX03016-050BX is an M3x0.5 pan head slotted machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel (A2 grade) with a bright, uncoated finish. Conforming to DIN 85, this fastener measures 16 mm in length under the head and is sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface, and the slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade screwdrivers. These screws are suited for general mechanical assembly, enclosure fabrication, and light-duty structural applications across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades where corrosion resistance is required.

This fastener is appropriate for metric-threaded applications requiring M3 thread engagement in ferrous and non-ferrous base materials. The 18-8 A2 stainless steel construction resists oxidation and mild chemical exposure, making it a practical choice for indoor and moderately exposed outdoor assemblies. Typical uses include panel mounting, equipment enclosure assembly, and fixture attachment in commercial and residential mechanical systems. No washer is included; this screw is measured length-under-head per DIN 85 convention.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head. Confirm that the mating thread is M3x0.5 before driving to avoid cross-threading. When fastening into stainless steel tapped holes, apply an anti-seize compound to reduce galling. Torque to the assembly requirement of the host equipment — do not exceed the rated capacity of the base material.
