Value Collection MSPX03025-050BX M3x0.5 Pan Head Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSPX03025-050BX is a pan head, slotted drive machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel (A2 grade) with a bright, uncoated finish. This fastener conforms to DIN 85 standards and features an M3x0.5 thread size with a 25 mm length measured under the head. The pan head profile provides a broad, low-profile bearing surface suitable for general-purpose mechanical assembly. The slotted drive accommodates a standard flat-blade screwdriver. This box contains a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces and is suited for use by maintenance technicians, millwrights, HVAC service personnel, and general industrial trades requiring metric fasteners.

These screws are appropriate for light- to medium-duty fastening applications in residential and commercial equipment assembly, panel mounting, enclosure fabrication, and equipment maintenance. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and mildly corrosive environments. Typical applications include securing thin sheet metal panels, electrical enclosure components, and small mechanical assemblies where a metric M3 thread is specified.

Key Features

• M3x0.5 metric thread — conforms to DIN 85 standard for pan head slotted screws
• 18-8 stainless steel (A2 grade) construction for corrosion resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish — no added coating to affect thread tolerance
• 25 mm length under head for consistent engagement depth
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wide bearing surface
• Sold in a box of 50 pieces to support volume fastener needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 85 metric machine screw for use in any application specifying an M3x0.5 pan head slotted fastener. Verify thread engagement depth and clearance against the mating component before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted drive. Always verify that the mating thread or nut is rated for stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur when threading stainless into stainless without lubrication — apply an anti-seize compound when fastening into stainless tapped holes. Do not overtighten; M3 fasteners have limited torque capacity and are susceptible to thread stripping. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidance for the assembly being serviced.
