Value Collection MSTI0-800370-100BX 8-32 Truss Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSTI0-800370-100BX is a Grade 2 steel machine screw with a truss head and slotted drive, sold in a box of 100. It is sized 8-32 UNC with a length of 3/8 inch measured under the head. A zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance in standard indoor and light-duty applications. Truss heads offer a wider, lower-profile bearing surface compared to pan or round heads, making them well suited for fastening thin materials where a larger footprint is needed. This screw ships without a washer. Electricians, HVAC technicians, panel assemblers, and general trade contractors commonly use 8-32 machine screws in enclosure and equipment assembly.

These screws are used in a wide range of light-duty mechanical and electrical assembly applications. Typical uses include securing junction box covers, control panel components, sheet metal brackets, and equipment enclosures. The 8-32 UNC thread is a standard coarse-thread size found throughout residential and commercial equipment. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and is common in legacy and production assembly environments. The 3/8-inch under-head length suits thin-stock fastening without bottoming out.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC machine screw suitable for use in electrical enclosures, equipment panels, and light mechanical assemblies requiring a truss head fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot width. Ensure the mating material is tapped or fitted with the correct 8-32 UNC threaded insert before driving the fastener. Do not overtighten into thin sheet metal or plastic, as the Grade 2 rating is not intended for high-torque or structural applications. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening electrical enclosure hardware.
