Value Collection R52000974 Truss Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000974 is a 10-32 x 3/8 inch truss head machine screw designed for general mechanical fastening applications. It features a slotted drive and is manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. The truss head profile offers a wide, low-profile bearing surface that distributes clamping load over a larger area compared to a standard pan or round head. Thread size is 10-32 (Unified Fine thread, number 10 diameter), and the 3/8 inch dimension is measured as the length under the head. This screw meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, confirming dimensional and material compliance for precision fastening work.

This screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, control boards, and general sheet-metal or light-gauge applications. The zinc plating provides a degree of corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor and protected environments. A slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers, making it a practical choice for service and repair work where Phillips or combination drivers may not be available. Sold individually; minimum order quantity is 100 pieces.

Key Features

• 10-32 Unified Fine thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes and inserts
• 3/8 inch length under head for consistent fastening depth in typical panel and bracket applications
• Truss head provides a wide, low-profile bearing surface to reduce pull-through in thin materials
• Slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Zinc-plated steel finish for basic corrosion protection in indoor environments
• Conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards for dimensional and grade compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 machine screw for use in any application requiring a 10-32 tapped hole with a truss head profile and slotted drive, including HVAC equipment enclosures, electrical panels, and general mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to fit the slot fully to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure the mating hole is tapped to 10-32 and free of debris before driving. Do not overtighten — apply snug torque appropriate to the material being fastened. Zinc-plated fasteners are intended for dry or protected indoor environments; evaluate suitability before use in wet or corrosive conditions.
