Value Collection R63068229 Machine Screw 2-56 X 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63068229 is a 2-56 UNC machine screw with a round head and slotted drive, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. At 3/8 inches in length measured under the head, this fastener is sized for light-duty mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance and precise thread engagement matter. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides solid resistance to rust and oxidation in both indoor and mild outdoor environments. Machinists, electricians, and equipment technicians working on small-frame assemblies, panel work, or instrument enclosures will find this a standard go-to for 2-56 threaded applications.

This screw is suited for use in small mechanical assemblies, electronic enclosures, instrument panels, and light structural applications requiring a fine-thread 2-56 UNC pattern. The round head profile sits above the work surface, making it appropriate for through-hole applications where a low-profile or flush finish is not required. It is a common fastener in residential and commercial electrical panels, HVAC controls, and small equipment housings. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces per order, it is intended for professional shop stock and service vehicle inventory.

Key Features

• 2-56 UNC thread size for fine-pitch engagement in small tapped holes
• Round head profile allows standard installation in through-hole and clearance-hole applications
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and oxidation
• Bright uncoated finish — no additional plating that could affect thread tolerances
• Length under head: 3/8 inches, measured per inch-system standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 UNC replacement or stock fastener for applications requiring a round head slotted machine screw in 18-8 stainless steel at 3/8 inches in length.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to match the slotted head to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to 2-56 UNC specifications before installation. Do not overtighten — small-diameter stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling when driven into stainless tapped holes; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound if thread galling is a concern. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes when using fasteners in panel or enclosure assemblies.
