Value Collection PPTCIF0-600370-100BX 6-32 Thread Cutting Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PPTCIF0-600370-100BX is a 6-32 UNC thread cutting screw engineered for reliable fastening in light-gauge metal and pre-tapped plastic applications. The pan head profile with Phillips drive keeps the fastener low-profile and allows standard screwdriver or power-driver installation. A Type F point features machine-screw threads with a cutting edge that taps its own thread path in existing holes, eliminating the need for a separate tap in many sheet-metal and chassis assembly tasks. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, these screws resist corrosion in typical indoor service environments. This box contains 100 pieces, each measuring 3/8 inch in length under head.

These screws are commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and general-maintenance professionals for securing control panels, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, sheet-metal ductwork components, and light-duty equipment housings. The 6-32 UNC thread size is a standard pitch widely encountered in control boards, appliance frames, and electronic enclosures across residential and light-commercial applications. The zinc finish suits interior installations where moderate corrosion protection is required.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread with Type F cutting point taps threads during installation — no pre-tapping required in compatible materials
• Pan head profile keeps fastener flush and low-profile on flat and curved surfaces
• Phillips drive compatible with standard hand and power screwdrivers
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate shear and tensile strength for light-gauge fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance for indoor service conditions
• Sold in a 100-piece box for shop stock, service vans, and repeat-install applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC thread cutting screw suitable for light-gauge steel, aluminum, and compatible plastic substrates requiring a self-threading fastener in this size class.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, or mechanical service professionals using a Phillips-head screwdriver or power driver set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the threads. Ensure the receiving material is compatible with Type F thread cutting before driving the fastener. De-energize any electrical enclosure or panel before accessing interior fastening points in live equipment. Do not overtighten — Type F screws in light-gauge metal can strip the formed thread if excess force is applied.
