Value Collection R52000844 Machine Screw 6-32 X 0.5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000844 is a 6-32 pan head Phillips machine screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in light-duty assemblies. The screw measures 0.5 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish to resist corrosion in standard indoor environments. It meets ASME B18.13a and SAE J82 standards, which govern the dimensional and mechanical requirements for slotted and recessed pan head screws. This fastener ships in minimum order quantities of 100 units and is suited for general-purpose electrical panel work, HVAC equipment assembly, control box mounting, and other applications where a #6-32 thread form is specified.

This screw is a common fastener in residential and light commercial trade work. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and equipment assemblers use 6-32 pan head screws to secure control boards, panel covers, junction box hardware, and equipment enclosures. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard screwdrivers and power drivers, making it practical for production and field service alike. The external tooth washer style provides additional locking action against the mating surface to reduce loosening under vibration.

Key Features

• 6-32 thread size, 0.5 inches length under head
• Pan head profile with Phillips drive for common driver compatibility
• External tooth washer style for vibration-resistant seating
• Steel construction with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.13a and SAE J82 fastener standards
• Material grade J82 for defined mechanical performance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 pan head Phillips machine screw for use in any application specifying ASME B18.13a or SAE J82 compliant fasteners, including electrical enclosures, HVAC control panels, and general equipment assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or power driver sized for a #2 Phillips bit. Ensure the mating thread is clean and properly tapped to 6-32 before driving. Do not overtorque, as the fine 6-32 thread is susceptible to stripping in softer base materials such as aluminum or thin sheet metal. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when securing control boards or electrical panel components.
