Value Collection R52000848 6-32 X 0.5 in Round Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000848 is a 6-32 x 0.5 inch round head slotted machine screw made from zinc-plated steel. It meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it suitable for general-purpose fastening in light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, and equipment panels. The round head profile provides a low-profile clamping surface, and the slotted drive works with standard flat-blade screwdrivers. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty applications. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

This screw is commonly used in electrical panel assembly, HVAC equipment cabinets, control box fabrication, and general sheet metal or light structural fastening. The 6-32 thread is a fine unified coarse pitch well-suited for thin materials and tapped holes in metal enclosures. Technicians and assemblers across electrical, HVAC, and mechanical trades will find this a standard consumable for service kits and bench stock. The 0.5 inch length is measured under the head per ASME B18.6.3 specification.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 x 0.5 inch round head slotted machine screw suitable for use wherever ASME B18.6.3 compliant fasteners are specified in light mechanical, electrical, or HVAC enclosure applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to fit the slotted drive without slipping, which can strip the head or damage surrounding material. Always de-energize electrical equipment before fastening or removing screws inside live panels, per NEC guidelines. Verify the receiving material has a properly formed or tapped 6-32 thread to ensure full thread engagement and secure clamping. Do not over-torque; steel screws in tapped sheet metal holes are prone to thread stripping if excessive force is applied.
