This screw features a pan head profile, Phillips drive, and a Type F point that cuts its own mating thread as it is driven. It is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. The 1\/2-inch length under head suits thin-to-medium gauge metal assemblies. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and equipment service professionals commonly use this screw type for panel, enclosure, and bracket work. Each box contains 100 screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is suited for light-duty metal fastening in residential and commercial applications. Typical uses include securing electrical panels, HVAC cabinet components, junction box covers, and equipment brackets where a self-threading fastener in steel or aluminum sheet is required. The pan head provides a wide bearing surface with a low-profile dome, and the Phillips drive is compatible with standard power and hand tools. The Type F point is specifically designed to cut threads into pre-drilled holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals rather than displacing material like a sheet metal screw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-32 UNF thread size for standard machine-thread fitment in metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType F point cuts mating threads into pre-drilled metal holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePan head profile with Phillips drive for broad bearing surface and common tool compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction for reliable strength in light-duty fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection in dry indoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a box of 100 screws to support production and service volume needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose 10-32 UNF thread cutting fastener suitable for use in pre-drilled holes in thin steel, aluminum, and similar materials commonly found in HVAC cabinets, electrical enclosures, and equipment panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall with a Phillips screwdriver or bit driver; a pre-drilled clearance hole sized for the thread cutting point is required before driving. Ensure the workpiece is de-energized and isolated from power before fastening any electrical enclosure or panel component. Do not overdrive — pan head screws in sheet metal applications are prone to thread stripping if torque is not controlled. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener requirements in electrical enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pan Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Phillips\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0058 pounds (per screw)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 screws per box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: PPTCFIF-1000500-100BX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695297429810,"sku":"PPTCFIF-1000500-100BX","price":2328.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/efa6858dd59309632bcbbf18c915abd0.jpg?v=1788333641","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-pptcfif-1000500-100bx-10-32-thread-cutting-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
