Value Collection MSPXX02512-050BX M2.5x0.45 Pan Head Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSPXX02512-050BX is a metric pan head machine screw with a slotted drive, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel to the DIN 85 fastener standard. The M2.5x0.45 thread profile and 12 mm length under head make this screw suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority. Grade 316 A4 stainless steel provides elevated resistance to chlorides and harsh environments compared to standard 304-grade fasteners. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, this screw ships with a bright, uncoated finish and no washer. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians who work in marine, food service, chemical, or outdoor enclosure environments commonly specify this grade.

This screw is used in metric-threaded assemblies requiring a low-profile pan head and simple slotted installation. Typical applications include electrical enclosure panels, instrument housings, HVAC control board mounting brackets, small pump covers, and other light mechanical assemblies where a flush-seating pan head is preferred. The DIN 85 standard ensures dimensional consistency for use in pre-threaded metric holes or with matched metric nuts. The bright uncoated finish keeps the fastener inspection-ready and compatible with conductive grounding paths where needed.

Key Features

• Grade 316 A4 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• M2.5x0.45 metric thread with 12 mm length under head per DIN 85 standard
• Pan head profile with slotted drive for low-profile seating and standard flat-blade installation
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to chip, flake, or contaminate assemblies
• No washer style — designed for direct clamping against mating surface
• Sold in box quantity of 50 for trade and maintenance stock

Compatibility

Designed for use in metric-threaded applications requiring an M2.5x0.45 DIN 85 pan head slotted machine screw. Suitable for pre-tapped metric holes, metric hex nuts, or metric threaded inserts of matching pitch.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard flat-blade screwdriver sized to the M2.5 slotted head. Verify that the mating thread or nut matches the M2.5x0.45 metric pitch before driving to avoid cross-threading. In stainless-to-stainless assemblies, apply an anti-seize compound to the threads to prevent galling. Torque to the assembly specification provided by the equipment manufacturer — do not over-torque small-diameter metric screws, as thread stripping is a common failure mode.
