Value Collection R63068642 Machine Screw 2-56 X 1/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63068642 is a 2-56 pan head slotted machine screw manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It measures 1/8 inch in length under the head and follows inch-system thread standards with UNC designation at a 2-56 thread size. The pan head profile provides a low-profile, wide-bearing surface suitable for thin material assemblies. The slotted drive accommodates standard flathead screwdrivers. This fastener is sold in minimum order quantities of 100 units and is a common choice for light-duty mechanical assemblies, enclosures, and equipment panels across HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications.

This screw is suited for use in residential and light commercial equipment where corrosion resistance and small-diameter fastening are required. Typical applications include securing control boards, panel covers, terminal blocks, and small components inside electrical enclosures or mechanical assemblies. The 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and mild chemical exposure, making it appropriate for indoor and lightly exposed outdoor environments. Trade professionals in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing service use this size when replacing or reassembling OEM equipment hardware.

Installation Notes

Install using a flathead screwdriver sized to the slotted drive to avoid cam-out and slot damage. Power down and de-energize any electrical equipment before accessing panels or control boards that require this fastener. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener type and quantity when reassembling enclosures. Do not overtighten into tapped plastic or thin sheet metal, as the small thread diameter is susceptible to stripping.
