Value Collection MSPXX03005-050BX M3x0.5 Pan Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSPXX03005-050BX is an M3x0.5 pan head slotted machine screw manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Conforming to DIN 85, this fastener features a 5 mm length under head and a low-profile pan head designed for secure, flush-style mechanical assembly work. Grade 316 stainless steel provides strong corrosion resistance, making it well suited for wet, marine, or chemically exposed environments. These screws are packaged in a minimum order quantity of 50 units per box, ensuring an adequate supply for production runs and service applications.

This fastener is used in light mechanical assemblies, panel mounting, electrical enclosures, and general-purpose machine work where a metric M3 thread and slotted drive are specified. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver, making it a straightforward choice in applications where Phillips or hex drives are not required. Grade 316 material suits outdoor, marine, and food-processing environments where corrosion resistance is a priority.

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 85 metric pan head slotted machine screw for use in any assembly or equipment specifying an M3x0.5 thread pitch and 5 mm length under head.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot width to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Ensure the mating thread in the receiving material is clean and properly tapped to M3x0.5 before driving. Do not over-torque stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur when mating with stainless threads. Apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when installing into stainless or aluminum tapped holes to reduce galling risk.
