Value Collection PPTCIF0-400310-100BX 4-40 Unc Screw 100

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PPTCIF0-400310-100BX is a 4-40 UNC thread cutting screw engineered for reliable fastening in light-gauge metal, plastics, and composite assemblies. It features a pan head profile, Phillips drive, and a Type F point that cuts its own mating thread on installation, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole in many applications. The screw is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides baseline corrosion resistance in indoor and sheltered environments. Each box contains 100 pieces, making it well-suited for production runs and service work where consistent hardware on hand matters.

This screw is commonly used by electricians, HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general trade professionals when securing enclosures, panels, junction boxes, and light structural components. The 5/16 inch length under head keeps the fastener compact for thin-material applications where thread engagement needs to be controlled. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power screwdrivers and manual drivers found on any service truck or shop floor.

Key Features

• Type F thread cutting point self-taps into light-gauge metal and hard plastics without a pre-tapped hole
• 4-40 UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with widely available hardware and mating fasteners
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a broad bearing surface
• Phillips drive accepts standard PH1 bits for fast installation with power or hand tools
• Zinc-plated Grade 2 steel finish provides corrosion resistance for indoor service environments
• Box quantity of 100 pieces supports production and service stocking needs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 4-40 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for light-gauge sheet metal, rigid plastic enclosures, and similar thin-material assemblies common in electrical, HVAC, and panel fabrication work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by electricians, sheet metal workers, or HVAC technicians using a PH1 Phillips bit and a standard power screwdriver or hand driver. Verify that the base material thickness and hardness are appropriate for a Type F thread cutting screw before driving. Do not overtorque, as Grade 2 steel fasteners in thin-gauge material can strip the formed thread. Follow applicable NEC or manufacturer enclosure guidelines when securing electrical panel components.
