Value Collection MSPX03020-100BX M3x0.5 Pan Head Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSPX03020-100BX is a metric pan head machine screw with a slotted drive, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel (A2 grade) to DIN 85 standards. Each screw features an M3x0.5 thread and a 20 mm length under head with a bright, uncoated finish that resists corrosion in light industrial and general-purpose applications. This box contains 100 screws, making it practical for production assembly, maintenance stock, or field repair kits. Fasteners of this type are installed by machinists, millwrights, electricians, and HVAC technicians wherever a small-diameter metric screw with a low-profile pan head is required.

The M3x0.5 thread pitch and DIN 85 form factor are common in light equipment enclosures, panel assemblies, control boxes, and instrumentation hardware. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and is well suited to applications where Phillips or Torx drivers are not preferred or available. The 18-8 A2 stainless steel construction makes these screws appropriate for indoor environments and mildly corrosive conditions where carbon steel fasteners would be unsuitable.

Key Features

• M3x0.5 metric thread conforms to DIN 85 fastener standard
• 20 mm length under head for consistent depth measurement in metric assemblies
• 18-8 A2 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without coating
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to flake, chip, or interfere with thread tolerances
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface than flat or oval heads
• Box quantity of 100 reduces per-unit cost for production or bulk service use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 85 metric machine screw for use in any application requiring an M3x0.5 pan head slotted fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

These fasteners are installed by hand or with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted drive. Power-down any electrical equipment and follow applicable lockout/tagout procedures before working inside control enclosures or panel assemblies. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners into tapped holes, as galling can occur — use an appropriate anti-seize compound when torque requirements are critical. Verify thread engagement depth meets the requirements of the mating material before final assembly.
