Value Collection R52000980 10-32 X 0.5 in Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000980 is a 10-32 x 0.5-inch overall length machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in light industrial, mechanical, and electrical enclosure applications. The hex washer head provides a broad bearing surface and accepts both a hex driver and a slotted screwdriver, giving installers flexibility at the point of assembly. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish, the screw meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it a reliable choice for controlled-torque applications where dimensional consistency matters. This screw is sold individually but requires a minimum order of 100 units.

This fastener is suited for residential and light commercial applications including control panel assembly, electrical enclosure mounting, sheet metal work, and equipment sub-assembly. The 10-32 unified fine thread provides strong engagement in thin materials and tapped holes where vibration resistance and pull-out strength are priorities. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assemblers routinely use this screw type when securing internal components to chassis or mounting brackets.

Key Features

• 10-32 unified fine thread for strong engagement in tapped holes and thin materials
• Hex washer head accepts hex drive or slotted screwdriver for installation flexibility
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected environments
• Steel construction with Material Grade J82 per SAE J82 and ASME B18.6.3
• 0.5-inch overall length equals 0.5-inch length under head, confirming a flush-base head design
• UNSPSC Code 31161504 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 unified fine thread machine screw for use in any application requiring an ASME B18.6.3 hex washer head fastener with a slotted drive in steel with zinc finish.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician or assembler familiar with fastener torque requirements for 10-32 steel screws in the applicable material. Always de-energize electrical panels and equipment before driving or removing fasteners inside enclosures, in accordance with NFPA 70E lockout/tagout procedures. Use a properly sized slotted or hex driver to avoid cam-out and head damage. Do not over-torque, as the fine thread and relatively short engagement length can allow thread stripping in soft or thin base materials.
