Value Collection MSPXX03010-050BX M3x0.5 Pan Head Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSPXX03010-050BX is a metric pan head machine screw with a slotted drive, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel (A4) with a bright, uncoated finish. Conforming to DIN 85, this fastener features an M3x0.5 thread size and a 10 mm length measured under the head. Grade 316 stainless steel provides strong corrosion resistance, making this screw well-suited for wet, marine, or chemically exposed environments. It is packaged in a box of 50 pieces, meeting the minimum order quantity for the SKU. These fasteners are installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors securing equipment panels, brackets, and control components.

This screw is used in light-duty mechanical assembly applications where a metric thread standard is required. Its pan head profile provides a low-profile, wide-bearing surface suitable for thin panels, sheet metal, and plastic housings. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers. Without an integral washer, it is intended for use where a clean fastener seating is needed or a separate washer will be applied. Common installation environments include indoor and outdoor equipment enclosures, control panels, and process equipment where corrosion resistance is a priority.

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 85 compliant metric pan head machine screw suitable for M3x0.5 threaded applications in mechanical, electrical, and HVAC equipment assembly where Grade 316 stainless steel is specified.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed using a standard flat-blade screwdriver sized to the M3 slotted head. Always ensure the receiving thread is clean and free of debris before installation. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening panels or covers on electrical or control enclosures, following applicable NEC guidelines. Do not overtighten, as M3 fasteners in stainless steel are susceptible to galling — apply consistent, controlled torque and consider anti-galling lubricant where required by the assembly specification.
