Value Collection PPTCIF0-400500-100BX 4-40 Unc Screw 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PPTCIF0-400500-100BX is a 4-40 UNC thread cutting screw designed for reliable fastening in light-gauge metal and pre-threaded applications. It features a pan head profile, Phillips drive, and a Type F cutting point that forms threads as the screw is driven, eliminating the need for a pre-tapped hole in many materials. The screw is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish for basic corrosion resistance. Each box contains 100 screws, making it practical for production assembly, panel work, and service repairs across HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial service work where 4-40 UNC fasteners are called out. Common applications include securing electrical panels, control board mounting brackets, sheet metal enclosures, and light-duty equipment covers. The Type F point is particularly effective in thin ferrous materials where cutting a clean thread on entry is essential. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople will find this screw at home in control box assembly and panel fabrication tasks.

Key Features

• 4-40 UNC thread specification for standard fractional fastener compatibility
• Type F thread cutting point forms threads on entry into thin metal without pre-tapping
• Pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface and wide clamping area
• Phillips drive for compatibility with standard screwdrivers and power drivers
• Grade 2 steel construction with zinc plating for basic corrosion protection
• Sold in a box of 100 for production and service use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 4-40 UNC thread cutting fastener suitable for light-gauge metal assemblies, electrical enclosures, and equipment panels requiring a pan head Phillips drive screw with a Type F point.

Installation Notes

Thread cutting screws should be driven at controlled speed to avoid stripping the newly formed threads in thin material. Power down all electrical equipment before driving fasteners into or near energized panels or control boards, in accordance with NFPA 70 lockout requirements. Use a properly sized Phillips bit to maintain drive engagement and prevent cam-out. Do not apply excessive torque beyond what is needed to seat the head flush against the mating surface.
