Value Collection R63062851 Machine Screw 2-56 Flat Head Slotted

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63062851 is a 2-56 x 0.375-inch flat head slotted machine screw made from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Designed for precision fastening in light-duty assemblies, this screw features unified coarse threads and an overall length of 0.375 inches. The countersunk flat head sits flush with the mating surface when installed correctly, making it well-suited for applications where protrusion is not acceptable. Electricians, instrumentation techs, and mechanical assemblers commonly use screws in this size range when working on panel components, control boards, small enclosures, and terminal assemblies.

This screw is appropriate for use in tight-tolerance applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and mild chemical exposure, making it a practical choice for indoor and light outdoor environments. Typical use cases include securing terminal strips, cover plates, and small brackets in electrical panels, HVAC control enclosures, and instrumentation housings. The 2-56 thread size is a common standard in small-fastener applications across residential and light commercial trade work.

Key Features

• 2-56 unified coarse thread for compatibility with standard 2-56 tapped holes
• Flat head countersunk profile sits flush with the surface when fully driven
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without coating
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency at the thread
• Overall length and length under head both measure 0.375 inches

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 x 0.375-inch flat head slotted machine screw for use in any application with a matching 2-56 tapped hole or corresponding nut.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-blade screwdriver sized to fit the slotted drive without slipping, which can damage the head or surrounding material. Power down any electrical panel or control board before installing or removing fasteners in live equipment, in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout-tagout procedures. Avoid overtightening in tapped holes, particularly in softer base materials, to prevent thread stripping. Inspect threads before installation to confirm the hole is clean and properly tapped to the 2-56 standard.
